English Peer Attacks-
Ritual Slaughter Method

•

LONDON, (JTA) — An attack
on the "cruel" Jewish and Mos-
lem method of ritual slaughter
was made in the House of Lords
by Lord Dowding, formerly a
marshal in the RAF. "It is a
pity," he said, referring to the
Jewish and Moslem methods of
slaughter, "we should be hamp-
ered in the process of setting our
own house in order by the re-
ligious ceremonial of the strang-
er that is within our gates."
Charging that "many more
beasts are killed by the cruel - Jew-
ish method than are required by
Jews," Lord Dowding urged that
slaughter by knife be prohibited
and that laws applying to non-
Kosher slaughter houses be ex-
tended to Jewish abbatoirs. Lord
Huntington, Parliamentary secre-
tary to the Ministry of Agricul-
ture, said that if such a law were
approved, the meat supply of a
large section of the population
would be cut off at a time when
other food supplies were extreme-
ly short.
Elsley Zeitlyn, of the Board of
Deputies of British Jews, pointed
out that more than .400 eminent
scientists, none of them Jewish,
had described Jewish ritual
slaughter • as a most humane
method.
