Jewish community takes food inspection agency to court over slaughter guidelines

OTTAWA – A group of agencies that certify Kosher meat are in court today to ask for an injunction against Canadian Food Inspection Agency guidelines for the ritual slaughter of animals.

Kosher meat calls for animals to be slaughtered without first being stunned.

While the Kosher method of slaughtering animal for meat is allowed in Canada, the food inspection agency posted guidelines in 2021 outlining how abattoirs must determine if an animal is unconscious and can no longer feel pain.

I can’t see a ban on Kosher slaughter as imminent given no politician will call for the end of halal slaughter.
