Fuckin gobshite weirdos.
It's not the slaughtering that's the issue (as is mentioned in the OP) .... it's WHERE it's slaughtered. There have been a number of cases in the UK where sheep have been ritually slaughtered in the street by having their throats cut and left to bleed out in the gutter. Not a pleasant thing to witness quite apart from potential health issues of blood congealing road-side.
As long as it's cooked and eaten afterwards whats the beef? (no pun intended)
I had my 1st taste of that last time at Pete's, was superb!
Sheep
Sheep
Sheep
UEFA now stick their oar into it, you would think Platini would have better things to do.
PETA are now euphoric that their totalitarian attitudes are having an impact. A sad day which makes you wonder where things will go.
Celtic's opposition could be hit with disciplinary action if they carry on the ritual slaughter of animals.... at matches!

UEFA has threatened Shakhter Karagandy with disciplinary proceedings if they continue to perform the ritual slaughter of animals around games.
The Kazakh champions caused a stir when they slaughtered a sheep at the Astana Arena the day before last Tuesday night's 2-0 Champions League play-off first-leg win over Celtic, leading animal rights group PETA to express its outrage in a strongly worded letter to UEFA president Michel Platini, urging the organisation to punish Shakhter.
There were concerns that Shakhter would repeat the ritual at Parkhead in the return leg this evening and, although it is now clear that will not happen, European football's governing body has made it clear that disciplinary proceedings will be launched if the practice is repeated.
Rituals: UEFA has threatened Shakter Karagandy with disciplinary action if they continue to perform animal slaughter at matches
Outrage: Animal rights group PETA contacted UEFA president Michel Platini urging punishment
In a letter to Shakhter executive director Yerden Khalilin, UEFA competitions director Giorgio Marchetti said: 'We were informed that an animal slaughter took place at some point prior to the UEFA Champions League fixture involving FC Shakhter Karagandy and Celtic FC at the Astana Arena on Tuesday 20 August 2013.
'Although certain practices may be culturally rooted, they have no place in or around a sporting arena or event.
'In this context, I would like to make you aware that animal slaughter on a football pitch or in a stadium before, during or after a UEFA competition match - or with reference to a UEFA competition - is totally improper, and will not be tolerated.
'In case of re-occurrence, it will inevitably lead to a full investigation by our disciplinary bodies.'
Pre-match routine: The team caused a stir after slaughtering a sheep before the match last week
The news was welcomed by PETA associate director Mimi Bekhechi, who had written to Platini on Thursday asking him to 'use your influence to stop any further slaughter in this season's Champions League and Europa League so that such prestigious competitions are not tainted by such horrifying cruelty'.
'We're very grateful for UEFA's swift and firm action condemning such cruel and archaic practices,' she said.
'UEFA has sent a clear message that there is absolutely nothing sporting about violence towards animals.'
Shakhter boss Viktor Kumykov had suggested at Tuesday's press conference the sacrifice would be repeated.
Tough task: Celtic are looking to overturn a 2-0 first leg defeat
But a Celtic spokesman confirmed later in the the day that no ritual would take place.
'Clearly this would not happen,' they said.
'Shakhter have spoken to the club and said this is a misunderstanding and made it clear they have no intention whatsoever of doing anything like this.'
Earlier Kumykov's pre-match press conference at Celtic Park on Tuesday afternoon took a surreal turn when the subject was broached.
Speaking through an interpreter, the Russian said: 'All I can say is that every team and every club has its own pre-match traditions and rituals.
Possible: Shakhter Karagandy manager Viktor Kumykov said the ritual may still take place
'Celtic must have their own. We will try to respect our traditions and those traditions have been in place even before we came to the club.'
Asked if the ritual would take place, he replied: 'Possibly, yes.'
Then, when asked where he planned to get the sheep, Kumykov, to laughter, replied: 'As far as we know in Scotland the agriculture is very developed so it shouldn't be an issue to find a sheep.'
