Quote:Why is halal legal?
Halal meat is legal because they made it legal. What else could it be?
And why do some of you think that this is cruel?
I think it's a matter of perspective on which method you think is more "humane"? To me, slaughtering the animal vs. stunning the animal with a gun doesn't make a difference. We have to kill it anyways, and the Islamic method is to cut with a sharp knife, on the neck, as fast as possible. Also, the ritual is basically an act of sacrifice. When killing a cow, in that manner, it increases our gratitude for God's creation because we are sacrificing the animal. And we have to mention God's name right before the killing the animal.
Unfortunately, the reality is that in many places - the "halal" industry is corrupt - they slap a "halal" label on the package just because there is a market for it and money to be made.
