Halal and Kashrut

Religious methods of producing meat
A swift cut to the neck
A death complete
Severing the trachea
The Esophagus too
The carotid artery
And jugular vein
The victim healthy
And conscious when
Cut through with the sharpest knife
No pre stunning
It has to be
With one foul swoop
Inevitability

Maximum blood drain
Our current law
Requires livestock pre stunned
That is our law
But halal and kashrut
It Does not abide
They have to be killed

In pain one slice
However one sees it
It isn’t nice
