The following news is from the Huffington Post on February 18, 2014 and other sources.
The Danish Agriculture and Food Minister Dan Jørgensen has introduced a ban on non-stun slaughter, stating 'Animal Rights Come Before Religion'. There has not been any kosher slaughter in Denmark, however this does effect Halal slaughter. Kosher meat is imported. The ban was not approved, or even reviewed, by the Danish parliament. Dan Jørgensen felt that the "food law" gives the agency authority to make laws administratively.
