Cow

Last week I met a man who works for a slaughter house.  Fairly quickly into the conversation he explained two things to me.  First, a “slink” is an unborn calf that is inside a slaughtered cow.  It is the newest rage in dog food to grind the entire “slink” and add it to dog chow.  Second, his company provides the meat for Hebrew National kosher hot dogs.  They employ multiple rabbis that inspect and kill the cows according to the rules of the old testament.  These rules include prayer, only using the front half of the cow, and the kill must be done in one strike with a sword/knife.   The first thing I asked was are these practicing rabbis at a synagogue, he didn’t think so.
