In the Islamic faith, ذَبِيْحَة (dhabihah) is the suggested method of slaughter, and involves a quick deep gut through the neck performed by a Muslim while reciting Allah's name. Meat which is derived from an animal slaughtered via dhabihah is said to be حلال (halal, meaning permitted), while meat killed through other means is said to be حَرَام (haram, meaning forbidden). Not all meat is halal, even if slaughtered correctly - some meats are always forbidden. The set of traits that decide whether or not an animal is halal or haram can be somewhat complicated. For example, most bugs are haram, but locusts are halal. Hybrid animals are halal so long as the mother is halal. Birds are permitted if they do not wound with their claws, and subsist only on pecking. Fish are almost always halal, however shrimps remain a grey area.
Bonus:
गविष्टि is a Sanskrit word meaning battle. It comes from the roots गो (cow) and इष् (to strive for), which some have pointed out implies that war is a 'desire for cows'.
