The animal will die regardless. The Native Americans would honor the animal and thank its spirit for the life force.
To me that seems quite ethical.

You don't have to kill the animal or breed animals to be killed. You're choosing for that to happen.
> The Native Americans would honor the animal and thank its spirit for the life force.
Why does that make killing something that doesn't want to be killed okay? Would that making killing a dog or human okay if you thanked their spirit after?

> For meat to be Kosher, the animal must be slaughtered in a particular way, so the Rabbi in a Kosher abattoir is a specially trained religious slaughterer. A very sharp knife is used to cut the oesophagus, the trachea, carotid arteries and jugular veins in one smooth action. There must be no pause during the action nor excessive pressure on the blade. Failure to meet these specific requirements renders the animal unkosher.
If that's correct, how is that not cruel? Animals don't want to die.
