Reply To: know any frum vegetarians or vegans?

Choppy, no one on this thread has claimed the shechita is inhumane. Certainly, some animal rights activists have claimed it is, but they’re wrong. What I was referring to is the conditions on farms before slaughter, and it is very well-documented that all kinds of cruel and unnecessary practices go on there.

Curiosity, by your logic, then we shouldn’t have a problem with buying stolen goods, because someone else will buy them anyway! Rav Moshe Feinstein forbade raising veal in cramped crates. I don’t believe he said, yes, it’s an aveira to treat them that way but go ahead and eat such veal as long as a non-Jew owned it!
