The meat of some animals, birds and fish are considered Haram (banned) in Islam and others are Halal to eat. Also in Islam slaughter has especial methods and also some other detailed rules about meat.

Allah (God) states in the Holy Qura'an in Surah Maidah Verses 3 & 4

"3. Forbidden to you is carrion (the animal that dies and is not slaughtered according to Islamic Law) and (the discharged) blood and pork and that (animal) on which the name of someone other than Allah has been invoked while slaughtering, and (the animal) that dies by strangling or by a violent blow (not by any sharp instrument) or by falling from a height or the one that has been gored to death or which has been ripped apart and gnawed by a wild beast, save the one which you slaughter (before it dies), and (that animal too is forbidden) which has been slaughtered on idolatrous altars (dedicated to false gods). And this (is also unlawful) that you learn your fortune through raffling (with arrows or divide shares by such means). All these works are sins. This day the disbelievers have lost all hopes of (their heinous designs because) your Din ([Religion] has prevailed). So, (O Believers,) fear them not and always fear Me alone. Today I have perfected your Din (Religion) for you, and have completed My Blessing upon you, and have chosen for you Islam (as) Din (a complete code of life). Then if one gets into a survival situation (forced by) ravenous hunger (and intense thirst i.e. driven by dire necessity, provided) he is not prone to sinning (i.e. eats what is forbidden without being wilfully inclined to sin), then Allah is indeed Most Forgiving, Ever-Merciful.

4. People ask you what has been made lawful for them. Say (to them): 'The pure provisions are declared lawful for you.' And the hunting animals that you have tamed running after game and, this way, teach them (the methods of hunting) which Allah has taught you; so eat (also) of that (prey) which the hunting animals hold on for you (after hunting). And pronounce the Name of Allah over that (hunting beast when you unleash it for hunting). And keep fearing Allah. Indeed Allah is Swift in calling to account. "

By this we see the kinds of meats that have been declared Haraam.

the method by which a permissible type of animal is slaughtered is to take the name of one God and within 3 swift strokes to sever the main arteries, veins and wind pipe with a really sharp knife. The slaughtering must be done as humanely as possible and if more than 1 animal is to be slaughtered the 2nd animal should not witness the first animals slaughtering.
