Ritual slaughter is the practice of slaughtering livestock for meat in a ritual manner. This may be prescribed by a religious dietary laws, notably Jewish Shechita and Islamic Ḏabīḥah, or performed as a spectacular cultural practice, as in bullfighting. In Animal sacrifice in general, the ritual aspect predominates over the food production aspect, but since typical animal sacrifices also yield meat consumed by the sacrificers, a clear line cannot be drawn between ritual slaughter and generic animal sacrifice.
