It's like criticizing the justice system because a few guilty people got away and few innocent got locked up. There won't be any justice system that won't have that happen just as there won't be an automated slaughterhouse that will perfectly sedate every chicken.

So again the difference is, we attempt at making death as peaceful as possible for the animals out of respect while the other way has religious words whispered into the frighten pigs ear right before it feels its throat slit. The emphasis on the latter is not on the animal but the religious undertones while the focus on the western style is all about the animal. This is the crux of the matter here and I don't see what you are trying to say. Are all methods equal to you?
Define "malicious intent".

The people doing it are fully aware that what they're doing results in chickens being fried alive. It's not a freak occurrence, it's the result of their actions. And they don't give a crap about that and proceed with business as usual.

If kosher slaughter is "malicious intent", how is this not the same?
