New Zealand: Jewish community upset at ban on kosher killing

The Dominion Post: “Kosher slaughter of animals, known as shechita, is a ritual where the blood drains from an animal’s severed throat. The tradition is an oral law and a tenet for orthodox Jews. The Agriculture and Forestry Ministry commercial animal slaughter code released last week makes the stunning of all animals before slaughter compulsory – which contravenes shechita.” | Wikipedia: Shechita
