The crux of the matter is that Halal meat is consumed by muslim community.
Halal is one of the methods to slaughter an animal. The Halal method is theone where the animal is given a cut and is left to bleed slowly. The othermethod is jhatka where the animal is slaughtered in one go. Muslimcommunity prefers eating the Halal meat only due to religious reasons.
