#BoycottMcDonalds Goes Viral
Aug 23, 2019
The debate between halal and jhatka meat would never end. Halal meat is associated with Islamic dietary laws and meat processed and prepared according to the requirements whereas Jhatka, the meat from an animal is killed instantaneously. Earlier Zomato was all in the buzz for giving the statement food has no religion and, now McDonald’s India is facing backlash on Twitter.
A Twitter user, @hibailyas89 recently asked McDonald's India whether their restaurants in India have a halal certificate.
McDonald’s India replied to the query saying that all their restaurants in India have a halal certificate and that the meat they use is of the highest quality. McDonald's India tweeted, "The meat that we use across our restaurants is of the highest quality and is sourced from government-approved suppliers who are HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) certified." They went on to add, "All our restaurants have HALAL certificates. You can ask the respective restaurant Managers to show you the certificate for your satisfaction and confirmation."
Immediately their reply went viral and people started trolling them for declaring that they only serve halal meat.
After this, the hashtag #BoycottMcDonalds started trending online; with Netizens calling out McDonald’s for serving halal meat in a non-Muslim majority country.One Twitter user @HasdaaPunjab wrote, "Go To Hell, then. We Hindus only have JHATKA MEAT, Will educate others as well to not have any Non Veg Food From your chain. If you not want to end up like ZOMATO, ensure that JHATKA MEAT is served. Else, embrace for Financial Loss."
Check out the people's reactions on this here:
Why don't you open separate outlets for discerning 0.1% peaceful clientele in each city ? Let's see if you can keep this open even for a day...why you expect majority of your clients to suffer halal?

Halal is the most cruel way of slaughtering by reciting verses from???? #AllahuAkbar while its throat is slit so that all blood drains out &it experiences excruciating pain while dying

Where as in jatka , not all toxins are carried out as not all blood is drained. It has been found out that it leaves the meat tougher and drier.

I refuse to provide you my money, until you also provide certified Jhatka Meat at your restaurants.#BoycottMcDonalds
Hinduism is much much older than Islam!

It should answer your question.
Still, if I say 'Yes', will you also lend your voice in support for McDonalds to serve Jhatka meat?
I thought non-veg is forbidden in Hinduism , if these true then there is no point to discuss these issue...
