Again I ask the question. If the animals are butchered humanely does it matter whether they are Halal, Kosher or neither? There seems to be some conflict about whether pre-stunning is required or permissible. From what I see in the linked articles and many others there can be as much cruelty resulting from stunning as from not stunning. Maybe rather than a statement of whether the meat is Halal or not it should be a required certification that the animals did not suffer unnecessarily during the process?
