Notwithstanding the alarm felt in many Jewish quarters due to the pre-Congress anti-Schechita agitation, the question of the Jewish method of slaughtering animals for food will not come up during the international-congress of the League for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

In order to prvent any anti-Semitic discussion, the praesidium of the congress excluded mention of this subject.
