The Sheep Geeks
Episode 8: Talking to Awal Fuselini about halal, education and meat consumption
Dr Awal Fuselini is AHDB's Halal sector senior manager and also a 2025 Nuffield Scholar. He shares his knowledge about the Halal market in the UK and in other countries. We discuss stun and non-stun options for Halal slaughterings, and also the importance of people understanding more about the production systems. Maybe not one to listen to if you, or someone who is listening with you, is of a sensitive disposition.
Plus the first time we use our new standard question - "what is your first memory of sheep?"
