DJ, you should learn to read my posts correctly:

I didn`t say anything about "kosher slaughte-
ring" (which I personally don`t have a problem
with...), but rather I was mentioning the
so called big "kosher" slaughterhouses, whose
meat in many cases surely doesn`t fulfil the
high standards of "kosher slaughtering".

Actually one would expect that the orthodox
community and the Jewish establishment in the
U.S. would be up in arms, but strangely
I haven`t seen any big demonstrations yet....

By the way, you are correct that there are
also (big) problems with animal abuse in
"regular" slaughterhouses, however, I would
question your claim, that the abuse there is
worse than in big "kosher" slaughterhouses.
(If you want, you can google the words PETA
and Agriprocessors, and you might change your
mind on that one afterwards...).
