The humane food myth.

Consuming animal flesh cannot be humane

The animal liberation movement has the mammoth task of exploding the myths behind so-called "humanely produced" animal products, such as cage-free and free-range eggs or meat that is "certified humane."
We try to expose the truth behind the marketing of food products that supposedly cause less harm to the animals used to produce them--foods that are meant to assuage the guilt of people who are concerned about animals (sort of) but who stop short of not eating them. Of course this eases their consciences about causing suffering to animals. It is a half measure.
unnecessary- dead pigs not humane food

Incorrect labelling is also part and parcel of the food industry myth.
The well-known Irish Fish company Wrights of Howth has been criticised by the Food Safety Authority for allegedly incorrectly labelling fish. A batch of salmon which had been highlighted and labelled as 'wild salmon' was found to be farmed under DNA tests, a court heard yesterday. The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) brought the company and two directors of the firm to court for an alleged 42 breaches of the Food Safety Act 1998.
There is also more profit to be gained by selling animal flesh labelled organic or free-range. People buying these animal parts need to be better informed.
As we vegans know the better label to look for is "vegan,"…the Only label should be VEGAN, that is if you care enough about animals.
