The danger of an increased propaganda against schechita in European countries was reported at the monthly session of the Board of Jewish Deputies held here on Sunday, April 21. Anti-Semitic agitators are making every effort to utilize the forthcoming conference of the Societies for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, to be held in Vienna, to stir prejudice against the schechita.
The agitators intend to exhibit in various European countries a “faked” schechita film produced in 1913.
The Board decided to associate itself with the memorandum which will be submitted to the Vienna conference delegates by German Jewish bodies and by the Jewish Consistory of France.
Col. Samuel Finburgh, M.P., urged the adoption of the newly invented casting machine. he added that Col. Moore, who introduced a humane slaughter bill into the House of Commons several days ago, gave assurance to Jewish representatives that the Jewish population will, under the proposed bill, receive the same privileges as are contained in the Scottish bill which he fathered two years ago.
