not jewish so commenting outside of my area, but, I think that when the practices were installed, the methods were the 'best available' (and so in line with this thinking), but the problem is that now there is so much tradition bound up with the practice that it's hard to install an alternative practice if one indeed is better (also not up on butchering, so cant comment here either)
- harel 7y agoI think you're right (I am Jewish by some default, but very much non-kosher). The practice itself is what makes the Kosher "Kosher". If the animal was killed in a different way, it's not Kosher. I know that as a carnivore I might be frowned upon by militant vegans for saying it, but I'm very aware i'm eating dead animals, not apologetic about it, and would rather eat animals that had a good healthy life and a swift painless death. Kosher slaughter to me is not a swift painless death (not to mention I have a lot of "beef" with the whole "Kosher" rabbinical institute).
