Compare the meat-slaughtering laws associated with halal and kashrut
The kashrut laws state that the meat of permitted animals can be eaten only if the life of the animal is taken by a special process known as shehitah. If an animal dies a natural death or is killed by any other method, it may not be eaten. The shohet (person who kills the animal) must be a Jew trained and licensed to perform the killing, which is done by slitting the neck with a sharp knife, cutting the jugular vein and trachea at the same time. This method, which is quick and painless, also causes most of the blood to be drained from the carcass. To be halal, an animal must be killed in a manner similar to that described in the Jewish laws, by slitting the front of the throat; cutting the jugular vein, carotid artery, and windpipe; and allowing the blood to drain completely. In addition, the person who kills the animal must repeat at the instant of slaughter, "In the name of God, God is great.".
