Because Allah [SWT] sent down the Holy Qur'an through Gabriel [AS] and unto Prophet Muhammad [SAW]. In the Holy Qur'an, one can see the jurispudence for halal eating. Because most Muslims follow their faith very much (since in Islam good deeds and belief in Allah [SWT] means going to Paradise), they follow halal requirements.

Basically, Halal is the Islamic viewpoint of what the Jewish religion teaches about Kosher (Halakha in Hebrew) and clean foods. Islam, like Judaism, is based off of the teachings of Abraham and Moses, and the concept of Halal or Kosher comes from the Books of Leviticus and Deuteronomy, where the Laws of God are handed down. Among these laws are rules against eating various animals, which were not fit for human consumption. These animals are primarily dirty by lifestyle; bottom feeding shellfish, carrion eating birds, most insects, and pigs.
