The Food Safety and Standards (Food Products Standards and Food Additives)
Regulations, 2011 under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, wherein
definition of animals is given, and approved.
 5

As per sub-regulation 2.5.1 (a)"animal" means an animal belonging to any of the

species specified below:
(i) Ovines (sheep).
(ii) Caprines (goats or goat-antelopes).
(iii) Suillines (pig family).
(iv) Bovines (ox and cow including buffalo).
(v) Domestic Rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) and includes poultry and
fish.
Ritual Slaughter:
Ritual slaughter is slaughter done according to the religious
requirements of either the Jewish (sachet) or Muslim (Halal) and Hindu
(Jhatka) religious faith. The animal is slaughtered, with / without being
stunned, with a razor-sharp knife. When the cut is done correctly, the
animal appears not to feel it. From an animal welfare standpoint, the
major concerns during ritual slaughter are the stressful and cruel
methods of restraint (holding) that are used in some plants. Progressive
slaughter plants use devices to hold the animal in a comfortable,
upright position. For both humane and safety reasons, plants which
conduct ritual slaughter should install modern upright restraining
equipment.
Streamlining of Halal Certification Process for Meat and Meat Products:
"Halal" and "haram" are terms used in Islam to classify what is permissible
(halal) and what is forbidden or prohibited (haram) according to Islamic law
(Sharia).
Halal:
This term refers to things or actions that are permissible or lawful
according to Islamic teachings. It encompasses various aspects of life,
including food, behavior, and business dealings. For example, halal
food adheres to specific guidelines, such as the avoidance of pork and
alcohol, and the use of humane methods in animal slaughter.
Haram:
Haram, on the other hand, denotes what is forbidden or prohibited in
Islam. Actions or items labeled as haram are considered sinful or
unlawful according to Islamic teachings. This can include actions like
consuming alcohol, eating pork, engaging in dishonest business
practices, or engaging in certain behaviors or relationships that are
prohibited by Islamic law.
The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) oversees food
regulations in India. The Food Safety and Standards (Licensing and
Registration of Food Businesses) Regulations, 2011, are part of the legal
framework governing food businesses in the country. However, these
 6

regulations primarily focus on food safety and hygiene standards rather than
religious or cultural practices related to animal slaughter.
Regarding stunning before animal slaughtering, while the FSSAI regulations
emphasize standards for the hygiene and safety of food processing, they
might not specifically mandate stunning before slaughter. The regulations
primarily focus on ensuring that food businesses maintain hygienic
conditions, follow good manufacturing practices, and meet safety standards
during various stages of food processing, including animal slaughter.
However, specific requirements or regulations related to stunning before
animal slaughtering might exist at the state or local level, and these could
potentially conflict with traditional halal practices. In such cases, there might
be discussions or debates between religious practices and food safety
regulations.
It's essential to review both the FSSAI regulations and any additional local or
state regulations that might specifically address stunning before animal
slaughter to get a comprehensive understanding of the legal requirements
and their implications on religious or cultural practices related to animal
slaughter in India.
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Slaughter House) Rules, 2001, which were
amended in 2010, include provisions that mandate stunning before animal
slaughtering in India. These rules were put in place to ensure the humane
treatment of animals during slaughter and are aimed at improving animal
welfare standards in slaughterhouses.
The amended rules include guidelines for the proper handling and slaughter
of animals in registered slaughterhouses. Among the provisions is the
requirement for stunning animals before slaughter to minimize suffering and
ensure a more humane process.
However, these regulations might conflict with traditional halal methods that
emphasize specific religious practices during animal slaughter, where
stunning before slaughter is not part of the process.
This requirement has led to debates and discussions within religious
communities, particularly among those following Islamic dietary laws, as
stunning before slaughter might not align with their religious practices.
The implementation and adherence to these rules can vary across regions and
slaughterhouses in India. While the rules aim to improve animal welfare, they
can pose challenges for communities that follow specific religious guidelines
for animal slaughter.

Food Safety and Standards (Licensing and Registration of Food Businesses)

Regulations, 2011:
Rule 4.0 Slaughter:
Animals are slaughtered by being first stunned and then exsanguinated (bled
out). Stunning can be affected through asphyxiating the animals with carbon
dioxide, shooting them with a gun or a captive bolt pistol, or shocking them
with electric current.
Rule 4.1. Stunning:
Stunning before slaughter should be mandatory. By inducing
unconsciousness and insensibility, stunning can avoid and minimise
reactions of fear and anxiety as well as pain, suffering and distress among the
animals concerned. Stunning methods induce temporary loss of
consciousness and rely on prompt and accurate sticking procedures to cause
death.
It is important that the equipment utilized for stunning and slaughter is
maintained in good working condition and that all operators involved are well
trained and have a positive attitude towards the welfare of animals.
Electrical stunning consists of passing electricity through the brain to
produce instantaneous insensibility.

9. To check for child labour.

GROUNDS:

1. That the operation of these slaughterhouses in violation of pollution

control norms is a direct infringement of Articles 21 and 48A of the
Constitution of India, which guarantee the right to a clean environment
and the duty of the State to protect wildlife and forests, besides
fundamental duties, as defined under article 51-A Indian Constitution.
2. That the absence of pollution control measures results in contamination
of water sources, a public nuisance, and a grave health hazard, violating
the ‘Polluter Pays Principle’ and ‘Precautionary Principle’ upheld by the
Hon’ble Supreme Court and the NGT.
3. That the non-implementation of humane slaughter methods disregards
global best practices and legal mandates aimed at reducing animal
suffering.

CONCERNS:

1. Lack of Humane Slaughter Practices:

The slaughterhouse in question do not follow the mandatory stunning

procedures prior to slaughter, leading to unnecessary and extreme
suffering of animals, in violation of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
Act, 1960 and Food Safety and Standards (Licensing and Registration of
Food Businesses) Regulation, 2011, besides Bureau of Indian Standards.

2. Non-Compliance with Pollution Control Norms:

The absence of Effluent Treatment Plants (ETP) results in the direct

discharge of untreated blood, animal waste, and other pollutants into
water bodies, posing severe health and environmental hazards.

3. Failure to Establish a Dry Rendering Plant:

 17

The proper disposal and processing of animal by-products are necessary

to mitigate environmental pollution and the spread of diseases. The
failure to implement a rendering plant exacerbates unhygienic conditions
and waste mismanagement.

4. Absence of Blood Coagulation Facilities:

The unregulated disposal of blood from slaughterhouses leads to severe

contamination, causing biohazard risks and pollution of local water
sources.

5. Violation of Air Quality Standards:

The emissions from these facilities, including foul odors and particulate
matter, degrade air quality and affect the health of residents in nearby
areas.

In light of the above concern, authorities are duty bound, to take immediate
action by implementing the following measures, in the compliance of CPCB
guidelines and directions, read with the compendium:

1. Mandate Stunning Procedures Prior to Slaughter:

Enforce the use of mechanical or electrical stunning before slaughter to

minimize animal suffering, as per international humane slaughter
practices.

2. Strict Enforcement of Pollution Control Measures:

Ensure that all slaughterhouses install and operate a fully functional

Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) to prevent water pollution, keeping in view
Bureau of Indian Standards.

3. Establish a Dry Rendering Plant:

Make it mandatory for slaughterhouses to process animal waste

hygienically to avoid public health hazards.
 18

4. Installation of Blood Coagulators:

Implement proper treatment and disposal of blood to prevent

contamination and environmental damage.

5. Regular Monitoring and Compliance Checks:

Conduct periodic inspections to ensure adherence to environmental and

animal welfare laws, imposing strict penalties for non-compliance.
