He did not tell people to follow those rules. On the contrary, he did something unlawful on sabbath and we can eat anything we want.
The only rules he gave were about loving humans and god
And I suppose slavery qualifies as "loving humans"? Hmmm....

And do you think jesus was a monster for having a passover feast with goat?
No. Sucks to be the goat, but if he didn't sadistically torture it to death before, I wouldn't call him a monster. But that's if I take him as an ordinary human. If he is son of God or even God, he is a monster, but not only for killing a goat, but for all the rest.
I'm not a fan of kosher slaughtering practices though.
