About the only interesting bits are the following:

An RSPCA spokesman added: ‘The public have a right to know how their meat is produced. Many people are extremely concerned about animal welfare. What The Mail on Sunday has discovered shows that people are not being kept informed. The key to a more humane death for these animals is that they are stunned before slaughter.’

Very true, the lack of transparency is not appropriate.

A spokesman for Twickenham, which sells only halal chicken despite not advertising the fact, insisted that the lack of transparency ‘had never been an issue’ and said: ‘Our consideration is more for those who want halal, to ensure they get it.’

Very annoying - there should be consideration for those on the other side of things as well. Of course there's never been an issue with a lack of transparency, that's the point, the lack of transparency hid the issue.
Ignoring the Mail's hyperboles it's quite disconcerting that there is a roll back in animal welfare in favour of religious superstitions however this is merely a reflection of the UK in general at the moment with religion being more of an issue in day to day life than it has in a while.
As a general disclaimer however I should of course mention that I am not religious per se and believe this country, and every other nation on Earth, should be governed with tolerance but absolutely no deference or reference to religious beliefs.
