There's a specific way to slaughter animals to make them halal, for starters you need to be chanting some prayer while you're doing it. In my home country they played the prayer on radios throughout slaughterhouses to be certified halal. That's why you can see chicken labelled halal at the supermarkets. So it's really a bit hypocritical to make such a big fuss considering they shouldn't even be eating the other meats.
Ya, it involves sectioning the throat but keeping the nerve intact so that the heart keeps on beating, causing the animal to bleed out completely. This removes the blood from the animal so Muslims say it is more clean without all the blood in it which can be means for spreading sickness and disease.
When you watch it happen, it looks cruel and disgusting. The animal is in a lot of pain because the throat is slit but the nerve signals are ok.
Yea something like that if memory serves.
What a barbaric religion.
