This is the first study of historical attempts by anti-animal
cruelty groups to prosecute those involved in the killing of
animals for food using the Jewish method of slaughter (shechita).
It details cases from Australia, Canada, England, Scotland, and the
United States, many for the first time, in which animal welfare
groups prosecuted those engaged in shechita as part of their
attempts to introduce compulsory stunning of animals before
slaughter. Despite claims to the contrary, this study offers clear
evidence of underlying, unrelenting antisemitic motivations in the
prosecutions, and highlights the ways in which a basic idea of
innate Jewish cruelty was always juxtaposed with an overtly
Christian ideal of humane treatment of animals across time and
borders.
