Recently there has been an ongoing debate on the issue of religious slaughter in Poland. Religious slaughter is a practice of slaughtering livestock in accordance with Muslim and Jewish religious laws which require killing animals without stunning.

The Mother's Day is celebrated in Poland on 26th May. On that occasion we asked Poles about their relationships with parents. For interviewees it was a sentimental journey in time. We did not ask about present relationships but about their childhood and teenage memories. Almost all of our interviewees (92%) keep a memory of a close relationship with their mothers, with half (51%) describing it as very close.
