A collection of opinions of experts in the fields of physiology and veterinary medicine from Germany, Austria-Hungary, Holland, England, Denmark, Switzerland, Italy and France. It is their consensus that Jewish ritual slaughter should not be considered cruelty to animals. The book was issued by The Committee to Defend against Anti-Semitic Attacks as an attempt to repeal the recent spate of anti-Shechitah legislation in Saxony (1892), Switzerland (1893), and Prussia (1893)
