A group working to safeguard kosher slaughter in Britain warned of uncertainty surrounding its mission following the British vote to exit the European Union.
A spokesman for Shechitah UK said Tuesday that he fears losing the European Union's protections of "faith communities" or seeing kosher slaughter put to a vote in Parliament that might be influenced by critics of Jewish and Muslim techniques for slaughtering animals.
"While some European countries have implemented domestic legislation against shechitah and there was a danger that a wider precedent would be set," Shechitah UK spokesman Shimon Cohen told JTA, Britain's government "has always been guided by the European Union and the European Commission has put great emphasis on protecting faith communities."
