Just seems odd that for many people who think of these animals as food, like me, that the "humane" aspect only comes into the picture when they are thinking about how they are raised. I still say it seems that people who are very concerned about the "humane" treatment of animals used for food, would also see EATING them as inhumane, as well. It's inhumane the way they are raised, but not inhumane to eat them? Duh? You said we don't need to eat them - don't those people think eating them is "inhumane" as well? That's the point I was making. The phrase "eating Pastured/humanely raised meats and poultry" seems a conundrum to me.
But you are right - I admit we do bear some responsibility to see that unecessary torture during their lives is stopped. But as long as I think killing and eating them is perfectly ok, which I do, I don't get on any soap box about it. When I am willing to get on that soapbox, that'll be the day I will see eating them as inhumane, as well, and become a vegetarian, like I have assumed you are. M. M.
