> That is simply inaccurate and Kosher killing has always had humanity in animal killing front and centre

This is absolute nonsense.

> even far before the concept of treating animals humanely became widespread in human societies.

There you go. The idea of "humanity" of animals doesn't exist in christianity, judaism or islam. It's really a modern concept that animals should even be treated humanely at all.

> There is often room for improvements, including reducing pre-slaughter stress, but when done right kosher slaughter is among the most humane forms of killing an animal.

A shot to the skull is. It is instantaneous. Not 10 seconds of gasping for blood as the cow bleeds out.

If you've ever read the bible, there is nothing there about the ethical treatment of animals. The concept simply didn't exist back then. Kosher is simply about what a group of people thought was "icky" animals/food and draining blood out of the animal.
