So depressing - to be superseded, no doubt, by halal butchers. Do Europeans ever stop persecuting Jews?

Funny thing, despite the expense, kosher meat, particularly poultry, is wonderful. I buy my Christmas turkey every year from a kosher butcher. He has a foreign accent (unknown) and every time he says to me “What day is Christmas?” and I remind him, lol.

In recent years they have been suffering both from declining revenues due to emigration from France by Jews fearful of jihadist violence and anti-Muslim measures targeting the ritual slaughter of animals.

The irony is Mooslims will not be affected by the law because they only recognize Sharia law.

why the he8l can’t Kosher meat be stunned first and still be Kosher? The point is to alleviate suffering.

“deep and essential meaning” what utter claptrap. The Jewish culture needs to wake up and alleviate suffering in the animals it butchers.

This article makes it seem like the Jewish butchers are doing it to themselves. That may well be the case. And if the main issue is they don’t want to stun the animal before/shortly after cutting, then I lack sympathy for the butchers.

All European Jewry ought to leave. They will miss more than meat in Eurabia, once it comes about.

For some, maybe for you.

For most, meat is something in the nice package at the grocery store.

When one kills and butchers his own meat there is much more respect for life, I mean all life. We have lost this.

Thus kosher is a ritual. the meaning of it is lost.............

You’ll find disagreement on the suffering issue. Properly done the animal loses consciousness virtually immediately due to the drop in blood pressure. Unlike stun guns. Don’t really want to argue the issue other than to point out there is disagreement. In Europe I suspect the other issues, animosity toward Muslims and Jews, is a bigger issue.

Well, they are Kosher butchers. If you’re suggesting they could switch to being non Kosher butchers, they could.

Exactly!

It was not "anti-muslim sentiment" that motivated these changes, it was PETA and vegans.

As soon as the last Kosher butcher closes, the EU will "rethink this ruling" and allow full Halal butchers to operate.

I don’t know enough about the process, but if it’s illegal to stun in Kosher butchering then perhaps they should be out of business. Or change the “laws” of Kosher butchering.

Are you in favor of the reciprocal bolt through the skull type of stunning or the electrocution type of stunning?

What utter claptrap.
