The real sad thing I find is that there is belief that certain animals such as lamb cows and chicken have been placed by the all mighty for our consumption only. So animal welfare is not really a great priority compared to cost. The result is Muslim eat twice as much meat as The average citizen and even The lowest demographic will have no meat free days. The result is above average health problems such as heart disease and diabetes. Culturally meat consumption is view as a sign of affluence to add to the situation. The view that we are animals too and could be potential food for tigers or sharks is lost.
With alot religious people belief in the day of judgment where God will destroy the world, long before global warming or our destruction/ruining the planet. So they feel no need to go green or ethical but only live in self centric view of the world which is bizarre because religion see themselves as vehicles for the able to help the misfortunate.

Don't know if you have read it, but part of Jared Diamond's Collapse discusses cultural approaches to food consumption.

Totally with you on that one. Hence my loosely pointed comment earlier about not wanting to be affiliated with the whole halal/belief thing anymore. There are too many variables depending on your cultural affiliation (where in the muslim world you're from, my background is sunni, so pretty generic or strict again, depending where you're from) but it all starts from the same standing flag.
It doesn't matter how much faith/economic spin you put on it, it's still rotten from the inside out.
