Around the Dispute about Shechita Slaughter. Between the Right to Freedom of Religion and Animal Rights

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to reflect on the issue of shechita slaughter and regulations by law concerning it. After a synthetic presentation of the right to freedom of religion and the animal rights in the analogous meaning (I.) the principles are discussed of shechita slaughter and its two forms are distinguished: traditional and industrial (II.). The article is concluded with a moral assessment of the law that is binding in the Republic of Poland (III.). It is stated that introducing a ban on slaughter on an industrial scale, with at the same time ensuring the possibility of getting meat for their own use for religious communities does not infringe the fundamental right to freedom of religion and satisfies the demands of protection of animals.
