1- AFAIK the conservative Committee has not touched shechita yet. I do recall reading something about bedikas hareiah but I don’t know enough to say. If you want to talk fact instead of boich, every single decision of the Conservative Committee on Jewish Law and Standards is public record. You can email them and ask what they hold about shechita.
2- How are they any crazier than the originals? I understand the karaites being worse because of the other nonsense they tacked onto it, but why do you dismiss today’s chevra so easily?
