Question
A very contentious issue is the line-speed of the conveyor belt on which the chickens are hung upside downs. The speed of the moving conveyor is such that each slaughterer has to slaughter 1 chicken every 1.5 seconds (one and half seconds), or 40 chickens per minute per slaughterer. What is your view on this issue?
Answer
The line speed is normally 180 chickens per minute, that is, 60 chickens per minute per slaughterer. We have a number of affidavits from slaughterers in this regard. There are also articles written by non-Muslim investigators who had investigated this issue. However, whenever there is a pre-planned announced inspection, then the killing plants institute the following acts to deceive Muslims:
* They drastically reduce the line speed
* They reduce the temperature of the water in the scalding tanks
* They instruct the slaughterers to ‘move their lips’ to display and deceive that they are reciting the Tasmiyah.
