A proposal to make the humane slaughtering machine compulsory at the Cape has led to the formation of a strong Jewish Committee to defend Shechita. As a result of the intervention of this Committee, the municipality, in issuing a new regulation exempted Jews and Moslems from its provisions. Jews and Moslems are, however, allowed to kill only sufficient for their own consumption. The enforcement of the regulation has been postponed by the municipality for six months.
