Halal meat comes from the animals that are slaughtered as per Islamic law.
Healthy and alive animals (sheep, cows, goats, chickens, and all others that are allowed to be consumed in Islam) are slaughtered using a sharp knife by a Muslim (that follows Islam). The animal’s throat is cut through jugular veins and all blood is drained out of its body.
