Fully Informed

It makes no difference to me that the unkosher hindquarters of kosher-slaughtered cattle are winding up in my burgers. On the contrary, I agree with this: 

Shechita UK, which regulates religious slaughter for the Jewish community, insisted that when trained slaughtermen carry out shechita, the animals feel little pain.

Spokesman Shimon Cohen said: ‘We too advocate better labelling, but a more comprehensive one.

'Rather than saying just “stunned,” it should say “electrocuted”, “gassed” or “shot with a bolt gun”. Then consumers will be fully informed.’

Quite.

And what have we become, that this is considered important, while the genital mutilation of infants is not?
