AgriProcessors workers ignore the suffering of cows who are still sensible to pain after having their throats slit by the ritual slaughterer. The animals stagger and slip in blood while their tracheas dangle from their necks.

Statement of Dr. Hym Ebedes, BVSc,
Retired Veterinarian, South Africa
I was horrified by what I saw on the video. What I saw was inhumane and unacceptable in a modern country like [the] USA. Shechita is only concerned about the method of cutting the throat to cut the two carotid arteries, two jugular veins and trachea and esophagus. The shochet has to do this in a prescribed way and as quickly as possible. What happens to the animal after the cut should also be his concern as Judaism is supposed to prevent cruelty to animals.
