Ritual slaughtering practices in Judaism : A symbolic process and textualization
The Judaic rites (chekhita) for slaughtering animals and the Biblical and Talmudic laws about how to treat animals are placed in perspective. Although the persons involved and those who comment on the texts about the chekhita always mention the limitation of all suffering, the prohibition on blood stands out. Owing to its symbolism, it raises fundamental questions about purity and impurity, life and death. Consuming meat is lawful only if a ceremony raises the animal's status. By analyzing the issues arising out of the mad cow disease, Judaism's principles about treating animals are compared with modern practices in breeding and slaughtering livestock.
