Humane treatment runs counter to the entire industry when the point is to make money by processing these animals as fast as possible. No wonder there is so much "farm" animal abuse out there. The only cool thing is that Gene Bauer's views on the meat industry are so similar to those expressed on this blog a few weeks ago.

Achieving humane treatment of animals is inconceivable with our big, popular universities teaching the opposite! Thank you for making it possible to represent the animals' -- including the human animal's -- interests! .,

Meanwhile, Feldstein's voice, as one would expect, is one that speaks of "humane" treatment and advocates for reform. Ernst believes we don't have a right to use sentient nonhumans and all of her posts (and those of Alex Melonas, who also posts at animalrights.change.org) are unequivocal about animal use.

Because the Agriculture Department enforces the Animal Welfare Act, this authorizing bill deals with a broad range of subjects regarding the humane treatment of animals. The bill contains sweeping new penalties against animal fighting, included after the Michael Vick case revealed the pervasiveness of this crime.

The United Methodist Church supports the humane treatment of farm animals and calls for the protection of endangered species. The Catholic Church is not alone among major religions on this issue. The Episcopal Church embraces a resolution that specifically addresses puppy mills and factory farms.

I'm sure we could do a much better job of ensuring the humane treatment of our laboratory animals--but at this point it's very difficult even to start the discussion. It "guarantees humane treatment?" But there is a significant contingent who is not as enamored with the Laboratory Animal Welfare Act as he is.

Once one bears in mind that it is this comparative assessment that is required, then it seems to me there will be a strong case (1) for Humane Slaughter, and humane treatment prior to slaughter, and (2) insofar as really painless and comfortable animal-raising is not attained or attainable, giving vegetarianism a try, at least.

I have argued that there is no incompatibility between being a nonvegetarian and advocating the painless and humane treatment of animals. Consequently, there is no logical connection between being a nonvegetarian and the cruel treatment of animals, let alone the cruel treatment of persons (human or otherwise).

We pay lip service to more humane treatment of the animals that we eat, but how many of us look beyond the label on the package of chicken cutlets? If people had to see what these animals are subjected to or take an active role in their deaths, I believe many more people would think before they eat.

On the whole, since we mean by a right something that can be justly claimed, we should probably say that animals have not rights, not because the claim to humane treatment would not be just if it were made, but because they cannot make it. It is not at all clear which is the true view.

In any case, which various political strategies would be most efficient for achieving humane treatment of animals is an empirical question. That these organizations have not gone far enough and that wide areas of animal cruelty still exist does not show that their methods are wrong.
