Here's what they say about Trader Joe's eggs (definitely does not sound humane to me.) Trader Joe's, a national specialty grocer, offers a large range of vegan and soy products. I looked online and all I could find was this article on The Vegetarian Site. They also offer "Cage Free" eggs.

Francione has defined abolition in a certain way and if you don't adhere strictly to his definition, you are not a Francione-style abolitionist. They don't satisfy all of the requirements of Francione, but their goal is the abolition of the use of sentient nonhumans by humans. And it usually involves exchanges with non-vegans.

I watched Home earlier in the week and you can watch it on YouTube here , though a huge flat screen is definitely preferable. As I've written previously, I never pushed him to go vegan, and now that he is I don't push him to do any vegan education. Important differences between Home and Winged Migration. But that's me.

Particularly when vegans and animal rights advocates are a tiny percentage of the population, some find it necessary and desirable to go to a place where they are among friends (for the most part). We humans can't even agree on what happened in the past. I guess this is more about definitive statements.

We are not people who are interested in discussing animal rights, as in, the right of sentient nonhumans to not be used by humans for potential profit, for sport or for lunch. Maybe "humane" is already on its way out for the folks trying to convince themselves and others that humane killing isn't an oxymoron. That's respect.

Being vegan because you want to live as nonviolently as possible and you don't want to contribute to violence and you don't want to respond to violence with violence is admirable to some, though refusing to support the defense of sentient nonhumans when you probably would if they were humans bothers me. Or vegan pumpkin pie.

The veracity of this statement hinges on Scott's definition of "inhumane," and that definition must be very, very restricted, and clearly unrelated to the realities of our modern factory farm system. We give them human names and provide them with the same amenities we enjoy as humans.
