Anti-Shechita Prosecutions in the Anglo-American World, 1855-1913: "A Major Attack on Jewish Freedoms"

by David Fraser

The book examines historical attempts by animal welfare groups, in Australia, Canada, England, Scotland, and the United States, to ban the Jewish method of slaughter (shechita). For the first time, the book studies these prosecutions, brought in the name of "humanity", that reveal, an underlying, unrelenting, and inescapable antisemitism.
