"Raised goats and sheep for local “ethnic” groups for the past several years. Their slaughter techniques very but can be rather horrific. The worst one is stabbing the animal in the heart and letting the blood squirt out while the animal slowly dies..."

Never heard of that one. Jewish people don't do it that way, and neither do Islamics. They use a very sharp knife to slice through the front of the neck all the way past the carotid arteries or insert a very sharp drain tube into an artery.

The American way to do it is to stun the animal by shooting it just above (within about a half inch above the centerline) and between the eyes or halfway between the eye and the ear. Then it's quickly hoisted it up with the head down and a carotid artery severed to bleed it out.

Both are humane ways to slaughter animals. Animals don't worry about what's going to happen next. Who stabs an animal in the heart for slaughter?

These folks were from the “Deep South” and probably had to wade across a certain river...

Only allowed that one time.
