Lesson

Hello Everyone

In tomorrow’s session I hope to discuss the question of rendering animal’s unconscious prior to שחיטה.

Several jurisdictions require that animal’s be rendered unconscious prior to שחיטה in order to make the process as painless as possible.

We saw last week that when done properly שחיטה has been acknowledged by PETA to be painless, but there are countries that are not satisfied with this.

So tomorrow we will examine two methods of rendering animals unconscious- by stunning them with electrical shock or by suffocating them. We will see why neither of these methods cannot be accepted.
