To some degree they are evolving. However, when a group of people disagree with a religion, they're entitled to leave it and join or form another. However, as far as I know, there is no religion of "believe whatever you want and so will I, but we're still called the same religion". That's why you have sunni and shiites and a few other flavors of Islam. Either practice what they preach or don't. But you can't practice something else and claim you're still part of them. They will shun you. Personally, I prefer my faith to be my own. The truth is in me.

Not a huge fan of spaghetti. If it was a steak-ish religion, I would have joined.

As long as it is not Halal or Kosher Steak I will join too.

That would be fine if what the religious texts say wasn't open to interpretation. Because they are, different people can still fully believe in the same text, but in a different way, and you then end up with different religions/factions/whatever all claiming to be the only true followers of God's word.

I'd like to see such a law in Germany, i mean i love meat on my plate, but this Kind of slaughter is just dishonerable for animals.

The article's a bit vague.
A giraffe was slaughtered and fed to lions, but the picture shows one that was shot and autopsied. If they're not the same, maybe they need to just enact giraffe laws. Some of the comments were valid.
And no, I don't eat halal.

In my opinion, the two things have nothing to do with each other. I can understand people drawing parallels because of their nature, but both the religious slaughter and the slaughter of a healthy giraffe just because of space requirements are wrong and should be condemned. I signed a lot of petitions in favour of the giraffe, but in the end it seems it couldn't be stopped. That doesn't mean that you shouldn't try to stop both that and the religious animal torture.

I don't disagree. However, getting the people angry over religiously sanctioned food by using something that appears to be completely irrelevant is proof that people are stupid and easily manipulated. Unfortunately, the government, corporations, and people have been doing that forever (almost every excuse for war comes to mind).

Well, you might have signed petitions. I signed a lot of peririons. Hey, maybe that's why it didn't work!

Apparently neither do zoo lions.

Here you go[^]
I dare say there is similar Kosher bacon. I ate this stuff when I was over in the middle east, it tastes exactly like what it is: processed beef flavoured with the same stuff they put on bacon flavoured crisps.
Now here is the question: how would people keeping halal (or Kosher) acquire the taste for haram (or non-kosher) meat.

They won't. They think that Halal and Kosher bacon is real bacon. They are delusional. 
Once you eat real bacon there is no going back.

Bacon is the only known cure for Vegetarianism.
