One should always be wary of Wall Street Apes' posts because, IMHO, they VERY OFTEN make partially-true, sensationalized posts that, upon further research, turn out to be nothing burgers ("click-bait").
According to Brave AI:
"what is halal meat and who can slaughter?"
"Halal meat refers to food that is permissible under Islamic law, specifically meaning the animal was alive, healthy, and slaughtered according to specific religious guidelines. It is forbidden to consume meat from animals that died of natural causes, were strangled, beaten, gored, or sacrificed to any deity other than Allah, and it strictly prohibits the consumption of pork and flowing blood.
The slaughter, known as dhabihah or zabiha, must be performed by a sane adult Muslim who manually cuts the animal's throat with a very sharp knife in a single, swift stroke to sever the windpipe, esophagus, and jugular veins without damaging the spinal cord. During this process, the slaughterer must invoke the name of Allah (saying Bismillah Allahu Akbar) for each animal; if a Muslim intentionally omits this invocation, the meat becomes haram (unlawful), though it remains permissible if forgotten unintentionally.
While the majority of scholars require the slaughterer to be Muslim, meat slaughtered by the People of the Book (Christians and Jews) is also considered permissible for Muslims to consume, provided the name of God is invoked and the animal is not killed by prohibited means. However, stunning is a subject of debate: while some scholars permit non-fatal stunning (such as low-voltage shocks) if the animal remains alive until slaughter, many Muslims oppose any form of pre-slaughter stunning that renders the animal unconscious or kills it before the cut."

So it's not really halal.
You didn't read the rest. I bought a coffee shop in my town a few years ago as added income because the couple who owned it were retiring. I had distributors knocking on my door all the time. At one point I started serving sandwiches, so we had a nearby butcher who delivered our meat.
He connected me with his distributor who works with Kroger. They process a few hundred thousand cows a month for just our state. When he came by my shop he gave me some catalogs and one was Halal and one was regular. They were exactly the same, except one explained what Halal was and how it worked at their slaughterhouse.
He told me that the crew who do the slaughtering use a system where the cow walks right into the cage and one of them cuts its throat with a knife and it clamps down on the cow which dies almost immediately. While it's dying the guy says a prayer to god, our god, not Muhammad or whatever.
The Halal association that verifies and signs off on this stuff were perfectly fine with their methods and rubber stamped the plant.
No - I read it. My comment was about a sane (or "of sound mind") Muslim.
