But it could be worse, it could be New Zealand From news article: McDonald's said there had apparently been a misunderstanding: “If Slaney has stopped producing kosher meat as a result of our non-specification, then there has been a misunderstanding. Our supply chain is in discussion with the Slaney abattoir to ensure they can continue to produce kosher meat separately to their production of traceable, non-kosher meat for McDonald's UK." Jewish Concern Though a solution for Slaney therefore appears in sight, Jewish consumers are concerned. Jacky Lipowicz, chair of the Kosher Licensed Butchers' Association, said, "Shechitah is under threat once again. The constant harassment of shechitah has led to this situation." New Zealand Jewry Fights for its Life In New Zealand, shechita has recently been outlawed altogether, though the ban has been put on hold as the Jewish Community takes the government to court over it. The country’s two largest Jewish communities have initiated a joint struggle to “Save the Future of Judaism in New Zealand†by ensuring that shechita is legalized. A statement issued by the Auckland Hebrew Congregation and the Wellington Jewish Community Center reads in part: “New Zealand recently became the first country in the world to outlaw kosher slaughter since the Nazis enacted similar legislation in Europe over 70 years ago. New Zealand Jews may soon be the only Jews in the world who can no longer eat chicken. Your children or grandchildren may never experience a Passover with chicken soup and matzah balls, or ask the meaning of the lamb shank on your family’s Seder plate. “Some kosher meat (but not chicken) may be able to be imported, for a limited period. It is likely, however, that if we lose the right to practice shechita, then the ability to import kosher meat will soon follow. |
