For jews it's still a sacred act to bleed animals alive. And jesus was considered as the king of the jews, from what I've heard?

No on so many levels. Jesus was called the king of the Jews by his followers but he was never widely held so. As for bleeding animals alive, that's about as wrong as you can get. Judaism was one of, if not the, first cultures that had laws against cruelty to animals. The manner of killing animals for food was specifically designed to be as quick and painless as possible. You're possibly getting confused by the fact that the blood must be drained from the body
after it is dead, due to the biblical injunction against consuming animal blood. There was ritual sacrifice in the ancient temple which was destroyed in 72 A.D. but it has not been practised since then. Prayer has taken its place since then.
