ok that's absolutely sickening..and britexpat; while slitting the throat to slaughter is indeed the Islamic way; sawing your way through a large cow's throat with a pocket knife definitely isn't; the prescribed method is a suitably sized knife with a blade sharp enough that in one swift cut all the major arteries are cut; 'sawing' through the throat with a pocket knife seems to be a most painful and inhumane way of going about it:-(
