    Jews follow strict dietary requirements called kosher. This forbids pork, and other meats that have been slaughtered in a certain way. The Jews only eat meat which comes from an animal killed without experiencing pain. One can find this in the Chirstian Bible, or the Torah.

    • Right, which is why ancient shepherds were sure to use electrocution to ensure a painless death

    • Stun guns, electrocution, gas and captive-bolt shots are not 100% painless, unlike the slaughter method Judaism uses. This method employs a razor-sharp, prefectly smooth blade that cuts the jugular and carotid in a fraction of a second.

      The resulting sudden loss of blood pressure renders the animal unconscious in less than a second.

    • Even if a kosher animals is killed the right way, not the whole animal is kosher. The cow is only kosher from the ten rib up. The rest is sold to non-kosher butchers.
