Happy Meat? Cruelty-Free Killing? Humane Myth Says `Don’t Believe It’

by

Curious about the truth behind common vegetarian and animal rights misconceptions and full out lies? Wondering how liberated free-range chickens are, and how cheerful happy cows are?

Enter the Humane Myth busters.

Humane Myth is a new animal advocacy group made up of “former farmers, animal rescuers, animal sanctuary founders, educators, and artists working to create a just and nonviolent future.” Their goal is to make sure you know the truth about the highly propagated “humane” meats. They seek to encourage “truth, transparency and integrity in animal advocacy.” They are the animal rights myth busters!

Check out the MythWatch section to see the insides of actual free-range chicken coops. Browse down the left side of the screen to find definitions and common misuses of terms including “humane slaughter” and “sustainable.” Learn about how the meat industry does effect your health, the environment, and wildlife. Watch slide shows, read farmers’ testimonies, and generally become a better informed consumer.
