It’s cruel and unnecessary. Best avoided.

There are halal slaughter houses that operate to higher standards of "welfare", than non-halal - particularly if they stun before slaughter - but I would argue that they are in a minority.
There was a time when a lot of meat served in schools and elsewhere in the public sector was halal, just to "be on the safe side". There was little transparency or informed choice, yet Sikhism - as I understand it - prohibits the consumption of Kutha meat, meat from ritual slaughter.

What's people opinion on halal and kosher meats.
My issue is two fold.
Firstly the needless extra cruelty endured during death.
Secondly the lie that is prayer during slaughter the animal is sacrificed to God and thanked when we have breed and raised and this has been it's destiny from birth for our eating pleasure and not nutrition or necessity. What ever your belief is I find I can't accept this.
And the fact that someone eating halal/kosher wouldnt eat something that has been sacrificed to another/different God seem absurd.
