Any proposal made by Hitlerists for prohibiting Shechita is dishonest, because while they condemn the alleged cruelty to animals of the Jewish method of slaughtering the Hitlerists are themselves the most inhuman inciters to war and violence, the speakers of the Socialist and Democratic Parties said, when the Baden Parliament defeated to-day a motion for the prohibition of Shechita which was introduced by the Hitlerist Deputies. All Progressive parties, they said, must for that reason alone resist on principle all such dishonest Hitlerist motions.
The question of Shechita is not one to be dealt with separately by each of the separate States constituting the German Republic, the majority of the speakers urged, but must be decided by the Reichstag, the Federal Parliament of the entire German Republic.
