PETA Investigation - Cruelty at Kosher Slaughterhouse

So much for kosher supervision guaranteeing quick and humane killing. As a neuroscientist, I don't believe that kosher killing is more humane, as PETA claims. The lack of body movement does not indicate a fast death, it merely means the brain is no longer able to act as a motor command center. It certainly doesn't imply an instant loss of consciousness in the animal - its reasonable to believe the animal remains sentient for minutes, aware of the pain of the incision and the horror of its circumstances.
