Kesher Talk

Banning kosher meat in Britain? That is the aim of the Farm Animal Welfare Council, which is supposed to advise Number 10 on animal welfare. So they have indicted the merciful laws of kosher slaughter in a four-year study, concluding that Jewish and Muslim slaughter methods are inhumane. Of course, it is all part of a broader anti-meat campaign.

Not to discount Judaism's endorsement of vegetarianism entirely, however -- Richard h. Schwartz has identified numerous reasons why high meat consumption and the ways in which meat is produced today conflict with Judaism.
