Aren kosher animals treated better?
While it is true that Kosher meat products have strict regulations and oversights from Rabbinical leadership, it does not necessarily mean the animal is treated better. The main point of meat products, not just Kosher, is to kill the animal. Yes, the death of the animal is done in a different fashion than modern butchers, but it is still killing the animal and the animal feels pain.
The short answer is no.
The long answer, however, is a matter of whether or not a person believes that killing an animal is ok. Regardless of how it is killed, meat products under the Kosher banner still involves the herding, and killing of live creatures.
Kosher slaughter rules say that blood is not kosher, so it must be removed from the animal before slaughter. Animals have their necks cut so they bleed to death before they are slaughtered. However, with the strenuous demand on slaughterhouses in the modern era, often the animals are cut improperly, are still alive when slaughtered, or a number of other awful scenarios. There is a popular DVD about a huge investigation of a Kosher slaughterhouse in 2004 called ‘If This Is Kosher’. Moral-based Vegan FAQs: The Bible says we should eat meat. There are thousands of different perspectives on the interpretation of the Bible, but nowhere does it say that humans are require to eat animals. In fact, a common view is that God put Adam and Eve in Eden to represent how he wanted humans to behave, and they ate no animal products while there.
