..one of the first laws passed after Hitler took power was the banning of kosher meat preperation because it was deemed inhumane?
Nazi Germany
The former chief rabbi of Norway, Michael Melchior, relates that "one of the first things Nazi Germany forbade was kosher slaughter."[8]
"One of Hitler’s first moves to institutionalize anti-Semitism was to ban all kosher food and anyone caught practicing ritual slaughter was sent straight to a death camp."[6]
"Significantly, the infamous Nazi "documentary" film Der ewige Jude (The Eternal Jew), designed to sow hatred for Jews, contained a gruesome scene that utterly distorted the way in which animals are killed in accordance with Jewish law, depicting the practice as a barbarous custom in which Jews rejoice at the suffering of animals."

I didn't know, but I'm not surprised. They meant to demoralize the Jews by making their kosher meats unavailable. In fact, kosher slaughter is very humane. The animal is killed quickly and cleanly.

Kosher slaughtering is much more humane the the mass production meats most people eat. It takes a living cow 20 minutes to be killed and packaged- its horrible
