We can not force others to stop doing wrong. We should try our best to make them stop harming the animals, but we can not force them. After trying our best, we will not be responsible of what others do.

We Muslims believe that every order from Allah is for our benefit and to protect us from harm. Non Muslims can search in the internet for many published scientific papers proving that the Islamic way of animal slaughtering has many important health benefits and avoids many dangerous illnesses which can come from animals killed away from the Islamic slaughtering. There are many scientific and medical websites which explains the benefits of the Islamic way of animal slaughtering.

You can also visit www.wehalal.co and www.55a.net and many other websites.

Muslims do not currently agree in their views on the theory of evolution. Some reject it entirely; some accept it in part (evolution for everything except the creation of Adam); and some accept it entirely. In the latter two cases, evolution is seen as being part of the divine plan.

There are some things in the Qur'an that would seem to concord with some basic ideas of the theory of evolution, such as the statement that Allah created all living things from water; while at the same time, there is no requirement that these things necessitate accepting the theory of evolution, and they can be understood otherwise.

Some of the objection to the theory of evolution in prior decades was due not only to a belief in creationism, but also because the theory of evolution was associated with the West, and so imposing the theory was perceived as a sort of cultural attack. This is less of a concern today as the theory of evolution has become more commonplace.

There is, in any case, no reason in the Qur'an to reject the idea that, regardless of how they were initially created, plants and animals have evolved over time.

Cruelty to animals is against the teachings of Islam. Those who do that are responsible. This does not mean that using any product is not allowed because the manufacturers did wrong as far as we don't support the wrong. There are two different issues in this question.
