Nice to see that progress is being made by the Chief Rabbinate, or at least, attempts at progress...I hope that kosher meat-production continues in a more humane direction. Seattle Matt, I use google reader too, but I still get full articles. Not sure how come yours is coming with just titles. Michael, thanks for the update on this!

The slaughterhouse that was investigated exports to both the U.S. and Israel and has different supervisory crews for each. The Israeli Chief Rabbinate tried to claim that the footage was of an American crew (and under American supervision), and the Orthodox Union in the U.S. claimed it was an Israeli crew (and under Israeli supervision).

Times article linked to; read that article for more info. Here's a quote from the office of the Chief Rabbinate (from the YNet article): "The slaughter scene in the video was carried out under the supervision of an American kosher organization that is not in any way connected to the Chief Rabbinate of Israel. " Lawrence,

The Israeli Chief Rabbinate has significant influence over shechita in South America (I think that Israel buys more kosher meat from there than the U.S. but I’m not 100% certain without looking it up), but this particular slaughterhouse exported to the U.S. That’s part of the confusion that I alluded to when I mentioned that there was a lot of finger-pointing in the L.A. Times article linked to; read that article for more info.

You only mentioned the American market, and the Israeli Chief Rabbinate has no direct authority over kashrut matters in the United States.
