Haifa Chief Rabbi rebukes PETA for "misuse of his name".
(From Israel Business Arena)
Byline: Globes correspondent
Chief Rabbi of Haifa Rabbi Shear-Yashuv Cohen, has issued a sharp rebuke over what he terms "the misuse of his name" in a People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) campaign against kosher slaughter (shechita) practices at the AgriProcessors plant in Postville, Iowa.
Cohen, who is also a senior member of the court of the Israeli Chief Rabbinate, was recently cited by PETA in media reports about shechita at AgriProcessors. In a letter to the "Forward", Cohen protested the use of his name "in declaring the slaughtering of animals at the AgriProcessors plant in Iowa as non-kosher."
