Fun Fact: The Nazis pioneered animal rights and were the first in history to outlaw animal cruelty and enforce regulations on their treatment. Hitler was a vegetarian who despised the barbaric practice known as "kosher slaughter", where the cow is hung upside-down from their legs while alive, and then cut vertically down the trachea (the wind-pipe) without severing the two large arteries it is between. This difficult task causes the cow to drown in its blood and can over 20 minutes for them to die, whereas a simple cut of those arteries wold kill it in seconds. Kosher law prohibits the use of painkillers and prohibits the cow from being stunned or knocked out or put to sleep beforehand. It is by far the most cruel thing you can do to an animal. And it is legal today.
