One question often asked by people who are considering observing the laws of kashrus is, "Why does kosher meat have to cost so much?" We will attempt to answer this valid question by looking at the process of "shechita," Jewish ritual slaughter.
Ritual slaughter of animals differs in many ways from common techniques of slaughter. In ritual slaughter, we find caution and detail in every act. In this rabbinically supervised slaughter, the animal is killed with a knife. In this act we emphasize Jewish respect for the dignity of life. Great care is taken to use a knife that has been properly sharpened. The blade must be flawless, without a nick, and perfectly smooth, thus assuring that the kill will be quick, clean and painless to the animal.
This entire process begins with the shochet (ritual slaughterer) inspecting the knife for possible flaws and nicks. He does this by running the edge of his fingernail and finger up and down the blade. The slightest nick means that the knife must be resharpened. After this, he recites a short Bracha before beginning the actual Shechita.
This knife (chalaf) is usually about 6 inches long for chickens and 18 inches long for larger animals. The knife has no point at the end of it, and is of equal width from top to bottom. These precautions are necessary in order to guarantee that the neck of the animal will not be torn. The shochet must cut through the trachea and esophagus to the jugular vein very quickly and in a clean fashion. He must not kill the animal by stabbing it.

What about cultures with ritual of molestation and rape. Is that justified and acceptable because it's somebodies 'culture'. There's plenty of cultures where girls are married to grown men at the age of 8. Are we closed minded for not accepting these?
That's such a pathetic defense, and I hate when people wheel it out. In MY culture, that's disgusting. Are you too 'Close Minded' to respect our beliefs and views?
Go live with Peruvian goat herders if you don't like it.

there is no difference between Judaism and Satanism, and you are right that this type of occult stuff going on among the leaders of the world is suspicious and demented, to say the least...im not even going to watch that video, but there are more humane ways of getting our meat...this is what the Jews are at heart, and why they can enslave the whole world with usury and terrorism

That's when the real s*** kicks off.

..you SICK SAVAGES and your SICK SUPERSTITIONS.. may you see the same fate as they animals who have suffered at the hands of your DEVILISH superstitions of the Jewish faith. may you receive this same treatment over and over and over continuously in your next life.

it's ok to molest children (ask the pope). it's ok to rape and murder as well.
so long as you are not jewish.
that is the basis of what everyone seems to be saying because not one person has considered that the hindu faith, which slaughters hundreds of thousands of animals a year, and, in some cases, a human child, should be deemd barbaric or evil. only the joooooos the evil evil jooooooos.
this thread is enlightening. it shows the single cell mindset of society.
