Resolved Question: How do I thank my customer for this?
I am in sales and sold a farm earlier in the year. I met with the owner, his son, and the buyer. As it turns out, the owner of the farm owned a large corporation. He kind of pushed me to the president of the corporation and I got the account last month. I saved them 20% of their expenses. The bigger deal is that I was seriously wondering if I would have to declare bankruptcy until I got it. My budget was stressed and I was taking a $15,000 annual hit starting next month because of my draw being eliminated.

Voting Question: Is chicken in the UK halal?
My understanding of what constitutes halal is basically the animal must have had a good life and be treated with respect and slaughtered by a muslim saying bismillah.
This would therefore mean that the chicken MUST be organic and not battery reared. However looking at the ‘halal’ chickens for sale in the supermarkets they have not had a good life as the burns on their skin from sitting in their own urine and brittle bones would indicate they are battery reared. Which in my mind means they CANNOT be halal as battery farming is without doubt cruel.
I have found a couple of places which sell organic halal chicken on the internet but they charge over £20 for a 2.5kg chicken - which is ridiculous. We therefore do not eat chicken unless organic and slaughtered by us.
How therefore, given what we know in how chickens are reared can so many Muslims continue to eat battery farmed chickens and if they do how can it be justified in Islam?
I think I mentioned about astronomical prices for organic halal chickens here. Which in my view are totally unrealistic and disproportionate to all other organic chickens available.
COULD I SUGGEST THAT PEOPLE ACTUALLY READ ALL THE TEXT BEFORE RESPONDING RATHER THAN JUST JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS!
I think it is evident by the responses that few people bother to:
A: Read the original posters question
B: or understands the question
Point me in the direction of something which is truly HALAL!
