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.
