Why and when is the eating of meat necessary in Judaism?
I have never heard of such an obligation, but I do know that 
there are religious Jewish vegetarians.  It seems as though 
the obligation would be contrary to the laws of Kashrut.  To be 
kosher, an animal must be killed instantly and painlessly, by 
slitting its throat with a very sharp knife.
  (Is someone on the net once again writing on a subject
   which she/he knows nothing?)
