An estimated several hundred are stranded, broke, and out of work. And now, we have the first rumblings of a violent reaction. en-us bharris@jta.org Copyright 2008 2008-11-21T;01:21:00-05:00 ekravis@care2.com There should be no shortage of Kosher meat. I am a former USDA veterinary meat inspector and a Jew. I worked alongside shochets who conducted kosher slaughter first on select days of the week. I witnessed the purple Hebrew inscriptions on the forequarters of beef and lamb. After the Kosher slaughter, non-kosher processing was done. This was all rabbinically approved. This could be done in every federally inspected meat processing plant in the country. When I was an inspector, there was no Agriprocessors. Eugene M. Kravis, DVM.
