HUMANE KOSHER MEAT ACT

Senate Bill
to ensure animal welfare in kosher slaughterhouses


Quote
A. No person who owns, operates, or is employed by a commercial slaughterhouse, butchery, agribusiness, or other business engaged in the killing and processing of animals for human consumption shall kill an animal intended to be sold in interstate commerce using the “shackle and hoist” method of slaughter.

B. The "shackle and hoist" method of slaughter (also known as shechita teluyah) is defined as a method of slaughtering a non-human animal where the animal is shackled around one or both of its back legs and, through use of pulleys, is suspended in the air prior to having its throat cut.

C. Parts 1 and 2 of the Humane Methods Livestock Slaughter Act (HMLSA) (7 U.S.C. §1901 – 1902), shall be amended accordingly.

D. This act shall take effect thirty (30) days from the date of passage.

Shackle-and-Hoist is a needlessly cruel way of slaughtering an animal. There are plenty of other Kosher ways to end an animal's life and this practice has even been banned in regards to imports to Israel.

I think it's easy to see why this should be changed in Atlasia, and I hope that we can all agree to pass this quickly.

This seems… uncontroversial.

Motion for a final vote.
