Don't see why halal needs live imports. The main thing is theyre slaughtered in a halal way. Presumably it's just cheaper to ship them live (or just about) to the middle east and then slaughter them there than send halal qualified slaughters to Brazil and then ship over frozen meat.

Also, don't think it's right to let Brazil off the hook here - it's their cattle ranching practices and export legislation.
