There’s nothing more cruel about halal slaughter, as long as they stun (which most do), than the common method.

That's a load-bearing "as long as".

Animal welfare laws don't give atheist butchers the option to be cruel. They're required to stun the animal first. Why give halal/kosher butchers the option to be cruel? Especially if you claim "most do" choose to stun.

Be kinder to animals, change "most do" to "all do" by removing the religious exception.

...and then come the progressive types to defend 1000+ year old ritual slaughter customs.
