To me, Halal = animal cruelty.
I don't (knowingly) buy it. I don't (knowingly) eat it. The problem is that supermarkets aren't forced by legislation to say whether or not a particular product is Halal. In my opinion, they should be. But guess what? The Muslim Council of Britain [MCOB] is against the labelling of food that has been slaughtered using the barbaric Halal method.
But why, I hear you ask? Why would the MCOB be against such a measure? Is it because they know that labelling food “Halal” will hit the sales of said produce? Of course it is. The MCOB care nothing for animal welfare. The MCOB care about the advancement of Islam and they don't give the proverbial rat's bottom about animal rights.
