CW: death of animal
There are a few requirements for meat to be halal, such as killing humanely (usually by a single stroke of a sharp knife), and making sure the animal is healthy and has not been ill-treated. Some say that this improves the taste, as frightened animals produce lactic acid, which sours and hardens the meat.
You left out the part where the animal has to be conscious, which, like I said, is the only real difference. Even if you believe that you can taste the fear in your animal product, wouldn't the animal being unconscious for the process produce less?
What I understand is that the consciousness requirement was placed so that people could verify that the animal was healthy and had not been ill-treated. Stunning is allowed after examination and before slaughter. Meat certified by the UK Halal Food Authority, for example, is from stunned animals.
