A compromise has been reached in Holland that will allow kosher ritual slaughter in the country. A month ago, Dutch health authorities banned the kosher slaughter of large animals, such as bulls, with the claim that the \"shechitah\" process caused suffering to the animal. Jewish communal leaders and the Dutch Health Minister recently met, HaTzofeh reports, and it was agreed that the process would be permitted if it took no longer than three seconds. Jewish Law forbids causing animals to suffer.
