Nov 9, 2014 at 6:24 comment added Monica Cellio @msh210 that's a good point, and now that you point it out I agree that that wouldn't be a dupe.
Nov 9, 2014 at 5:31 comment added msh210 @MonicaCellio if it were so edited, I don't think it'd be a duplicate: the other question asks the halacha (how can they be killed?) whereas this would ask the facts (how are they killed?). DoubleAA says one would need to ask a manufacturer the latter, but there may actually be a standard operating procedure.

Nov 7, 2014 at 4:30 comment added Double AA There are no requirements for the leather other than its coming from a kosher mammal. The cow could have been lethally injected or flayed alive. You'd have to contact your local Tefillin Manufacturer to see what he uses.
Nov 7, 2014 at 2:08 comment added Monica Cellio We can't judge "humane" as that's not an objective standard, but if you were to edit this to ask instead how the cows are killed, that would be answerable and then you could evaluate the humanity of that yourself. (Edit: but, I later discovered, it would be a duplicate. I've reclosed this as a dupe.)
Nov 7, 2014 at 1:01 comment added JJLL @mordcah. I think you raise an excellent question. This was discussed at the following web site: jewishjournal.com/socialjusticerav/item/…
Nov 6, 2014 at 23:30 comment added msh210 I've closed this question because it doesn't specify a standard for humaneness.

Nov 6, 2014 at 23:01 comment added MTL I believe they are killed humanely, but I can't prove it to you since I don't know for certain. I've edited your question for the spelling, if I've done anything you don't like you can edit yourself to fix it.
