In my opinion, and I am a vegetarian, the second definition of humane is the MINIMAL that we should expect. There is an abundance of information on the web about undercover investigations, livestock conditions, slaughter procedures, etc. you can probably get a lot of first-hand information too.

I receive frequent e-mails from readers asking how everything's going, so here's an update and some cautionary information. At least Emily the kitty, though not at all skinny, had an uneventful year.

He can put up informational items, as I often do; he can argue; he can write book reviews; he can criticize arguments; he can comment on public affairs. He can even write about personal things, such as his attempt to become a vegetarian. Jonathan can post on anything he wants. Maybe he’ll share some recipes!

Unlike birds, they do not vocalize; unlike butterflies, they are totally predatory, not a vegetarian amongst them. Together they comprise Ondonata, an order of insects that, like birds, are beautiful in flight and challenging in identification.
