  • Humane Meat: The Facts
  • Yummy Things in Your Meat
  • Hear It From a Pig Farmer!

Humane meat? Cage Free? Organic? You’ll be relieved to find out what it all really means.

If you think more people need to see how hilarious the idea of “humane meat” is, share this video on Facebook or Twitter.

So, as you’ve probably figured out, there is no such thing as “humane meat.” On “humane,” “grass-fed,” and “organic” farms, animals are still subject to cruel industry standards: severe crowding, physical mutilation without painkillers, and a terrifying death. The only “humane meat” is no meat at all. Try vegan!

“Almost all of us grew up eating meat, wearing leather, and going to circuses and zoos. We never considered the impact of these actions on the animals involved. For whatever reason, you are now asking the question: Why should animals have rights?”

— Ingrid Newkirk, PETA Founder and co-author of Animalkind
