ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for humane slaughtering of animals in accordance with Jewish and Muslim dietary laws with a high degree of reliably, are characterized by an animal enclosure that is mounted to a base for rotation about a longitudinal axis between a normal position and an inverted position. The enclosure has a top, bottom and opposite sides, and one of the opposite sides has a normally closed access opening adjacent the enclosure bottom that may be opened for permitting access to the hooves of the animal when the enclosure is inverted, whereby the animal can be easily shackled after having been inverted, i.e., turned over onto its back. Provision also is made for stretching and holding stretched the neck of the animal during slaughtering, and for laterally restraining the animal when being inverted onto its back, for properly longitudinally positioning the animal in the enclosure prior to inversion, and for allowing ready removal of the slaughtered animal from the enclosure.
