The problem with free range (at least in Australia) is that it doesn't really mean what customers expect it to.

Often the only difference is that a free range barn will have a small outside area, which the chickens may not access because all the food is inside [1].

I think most vegetarians/vegans would agree that Halal meat is ethically worse than the 'bolt to the brain' alternative. Of course this is a sweeping generalisation.
