Shechita UK make clear the distinction between the Shechita procedure and commonplace abuses by commercial abattoir operators(whose religion tends to be Mammon-based). Shechita is a most humane method of slaughter, incorporating as it does all the safeguards to ensure an uninterrupted pain-free process from incision to immediate unconsciousness to expiry. Shechita incorporates a stun i.e. loss of consciousness which unlike those administered by mechanical bolt or electric tongs, does not create any suffering of itself, and from which ther can be no recovery to conciousness. Judaism was the first religion to legislate for animal welfare, and its laws are as practical and valid today as ever they were. We allcondemn bad practice, but check the facts first before condemning the best Code of Law These comments are based on a great deal of ignorance, and the admittedly poor practices found at some abattoirs are unfortunately common where non-religious slaughter takes place too.
