| Popis: | All livestock animals raised for food in America must be rendered immediately unconscious prior to slaughter to prevent needless suffering. An exception to this legal requirement exists for ritually-slaughtered animals. These animals, slaughtered under religious exemption from this part of animal welfare regulations, are incised while still conscious and allowed to bleed out. While a growing body of scientific studies suggests this method of slaughter allows for an otherwise avoidable period of considerable stress and pain prior to death, some religious advocates also contend that ritual slaughter can be considered humane. These perspectives are analysed by a public health veterinarian. |
