Greece Bans Kosher & Halal Slaughter

On October 26th, kosher and halal methods of slaughtering livestock were banned by the Supreme Administrative Court of Greece. Both Muslims and Jews alike are religiously obligated to slaughter animals without anesthesia. The decision was taken after the Panhellenic Animal Welfare and Environmental Federation demanded the repeal of an exemption in the law that allowed these religious slaughter practices. Greece's court ruled that the traditional preparations required by Jews and Muslims before consuming meat do not outweigh animal welfare rights. The Greek court's decision follows a ruling in December 2020 from the European Court of Justice that pushes European Union member states to include stunning animals before slaughter to minimize suffering. Rabbi Menachem Margolin, chairman of the European Jewish Association, condemned Greece's order and stated that Jewish freedom of religion is under direct attack across Europe.
