we permit Halal meat in this country as it is a muslim tradition. I for one am not one to stop people forfilling beliefs.

The thing is, you are never ever going to have a society where everyone is happy. There are many non meat eaters who believe ANY animal slaughter is cruel. Different societies all over the world see animal slaughter in different animals as acceptable and others as not, ie us with lobster, chinese and turtles, etc etc Regardless of to whether tesco do decide to stop selling tortoises and turtles, you are NEVER going to change the whole of the rest of China.

At the end of is all, Tesco are a "profit" organisation... by not selling this product in China they are regecting a large market. Business suicide. That is NOT to say I do not think they should encourage fair treatment of ALL animal produce sold.
