Until you stop most of your current mass-meat production practices in the west: you have zero credence in my eyes to call Halal barbaric.
I don't disagree here either. I don't like the fact that most animals are raised in terrible environments and that should be illegal too. I'm not going to dedicate my life to ending it like I won't dedicate my life to ending Halal, but when given the opportunity to voice my opinion on the subjects, I will.
