Dear Mr Morais.
I would like to ascertain the truth in a state-ment made. That the schohet at the Abbatoir is cruel in kil-ling the animals. Mrs White President of the Womens branch of The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals stated that he hoists the animal up by one leg leaving it dangling in this position, until he shar-pens his knife. I told her our method was much more humane than the Christian process of knocking them in the head, which she admitted, but lays stress,

on the above as inconsistent with Jewish doctrines. Your prompt reply will much oblige Truly. Lucien Moss.
