Conscious animals are shackled and hoisted, in great pain and terror, as they wait for their throats to be slit.
Shackling and hoisting conscious animals seems to violate both the humane intent of Islamic slaughter law, and Nabi Muhammed's Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam teachings.

Concerning slaughter Nabi Muhammed's Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam said:
"When one of you slaughters, let him complete it," meaning that one should sharpen the knife well and feed,
water, and soothe the animal before killing it [Ibn Majah; as cited in Al-Qaradawi, 57.]

Do you intend inflicting death on the animal twice - once by sharpening the knife within its sight, and once by cutting its throat? [Al-Mahli; as cited in Regenstein, 254.]

Knowing what we do about modern factory farming, it is obvious that neither of these proscriptions can be
properly followed. Animals are in no way soothed during the killing process, and food and water are routinely
denied animals during transit and slaughter.110 At the actual point of slaughter many animals are struck and
beaten (Nabi Muhammed Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam forbade beating animals) as they resist moving towards the
end they know awaits them (they are certainly "dying twice").

The Prophet(s) forbade all living creatures to be slaughtered while tied up and bound. (id (Ref. No. 46); Hadith No. 4817; p. 1079).

Other violations of halal standards occur throughout the factory farming of an animal, in addition to any
violations around the time of its death. The majority of intensively-raised animals spend their lives confined to
small cages, cramped inside windowless buildings. This is in contrast to Nabi Muhammed's Sallallahu Alayhi
Wasallam teachings, which called the caging of animals a "great sin" [ B.A. Masri, "Excerpts from the Islamic
Teachings on Animal Welfare"; as cited in Regenstein, 253.]

The animals whose lives are reduced to this existence of horrible suffering are not just dying twice, but daily in the factory farms.
