The R.S.P.C.A are absolutely on the money regarding religious slaughter without stunning the animals first.
I have added transcript from the RSPCA website along with my added chorus. Please spread the word thanks. here is the text:
Religious slaughter
Current UK law requires animals to be stunned before slaughter, so they don't feel pain. However, Jewish and Muslim communities aren't required by law to stun animals before slaughter. All Shechita (Jewish) and some Halal (Muslim) slaughter involves cutting the animal's throat without stunning them first.

Halal and Kosher cruel way to slaughter the majority reckons
A large cow will suffer pain for more than 20 to 40 seconds
At least 88 percent of halal is stunned the U.K
As opposed to Kosher where they all suffer in such a bad way

Pre-stunning ensures that an animal is unconscious and cannot feel pain before slaughter up until the point of death. Animals that haven't been pre-stunned:
Feel pain during the neck cutting process and up until they lose consciousness (through loss of blood)
Experience a delay in loss of consciousness (e.g. up to two minutes in cattle)
Are subjected to unnecessary pain, suffering and distress.

Current UK law requires all livestock to be stunned before slaughter, so they don't feel pain at the time of killing. However, there is an exemption from this requirement that permits non-stun slaughter for religious purposes - to meet the demand of Muslim and Jewish communities.
Why animals need to be pre-stunned
An animal killed without being stunned will only lose consciousness after prolonged blood loss. This results in a distressing and painful death for the animal

Animals not stunned first need a higher level of restraint than standard slaughter methods
A large cut made across the neck of awake animals would "result in significant pain and distress". They would be in this pain until they passed out. It would take around 5 to 7 seconds for sheep and 22 to 40 seconds for adult cattle to pass out from the cut.
Slaughter without pre-stunning is cruel and the Government should repeal the current law exemption.
