So, I will still eat meat only if it is kosher (killed humanely/not abused).

I have been to a kosher slaughterhouse. You should stop eating kosher meat if those are your real reasons.

U serious?

Pretty much the only difference is that it's slightly cleaner and the rabbis pray over the cows.

Kosher slaughtering involves shackling the cow by the foot and slitting its throat, so that the blood drains. I wouldn't argue that the cow enjoys the process. The principal difference between kosher and non-kosher meat that might interest a non-Jew is that in order to be sold as kosher each and every carcass must be carefully examined for blemishes, diseased areas, etc. Anything that has any sort of a problem is rejected and may enter the non-kosher food stream. You can be sure that kosher meat has been carefully inspected by those who consider the inspection a sacred religious act (a mitzvah). To put it mildly, the government meat inspection process is not as rigorous and is more open to corruption.
