Warning the attached video is extremely graphic and more than likely will be disturbing to most people. The Miami Student reports that Wal-Mart has taken the leap into dangerous waters, approving the provision of halal meats. With a petition, Oxford assistant professor Tareq Hasan Khan and the Muslim Student Association (MSA) of Miami University has pressured Wal-Mart into providing meats that have been slaughtered in a manner acceptable by halal standards, as per the Quran. (Let it be noted that the petition garnered only 50 signatures while passed around the internet.) According to the Quranic definition, halal livestock should be slaughtered by slitting the throat of the beast, bleeding the animal out by the throat, all while invoking the name of Allah in prayer. It’s often argued that halal slaughter is the most humane form of butchery, claiming that the animal endures as little pain and suffering as possible, but the documented videos reveal the ugly truth. For those not aware of the difference between previous industrys humane standards, it has been the practice for many years in the this country to stun or kill the animals by shooting or knocking the animal in the brain prior to bleeding and processing. halal processing requires the animal to not only be prayed over to ala, but to expire by bleeding from a cut that almost severs the head of the animal. Please read your labels when purchasing your meat products and avoid halal processed meet if at all possible.
