The use of the religious exemption is not adequately monitored or controlled by DEFRA and many more animals than necessary are killed by these methods. (71% of sheep were killed by RS (2018 FSA survey). The amount of produce exceeds the needs of Jews and Muslims and is sold to the non religious food chain to be eaten by groups whose religious/ ethical needs may prohibit it consumption e.g. Sihks, and Hindus.
