Humane slaughter

Monday, 05 November 2007

Dear editor,

I have just heard that the American Humane Association has awarded a ‘Humane award’ to a 900-cow factory farm because they slaughter cows with compassion.

Despite the fact that each birthed calf is separated from her mother, they rationalise this by calling themselves humane. Despite the fact that each and every one of their cows ends up hanging upside down with her throat cut in a slaughterhouse, they now call themselves humane.

Some people might argue that there is such a thing as humane slaughter. I disagree completely.
