No, but I'd know it was coming. This discussion is ironic, because for most of history the kosher practice was more humane than the norm. I can't imagine that being led into a slaughterhouse is that easy on the animal involved either--for some reason this is being left out of the discussion. I'm just guessing, but I would bet that the average kosher butcher induces less overall trauma when you count the time leading up to the actual killing as well.

I know some of the basics about why Jews keep kosher and nothing about keeping (is that the right term?) halal, but can anyone suggest a good reading reference where I could learn more about the ritual?
Thanks, Jon
