  Thanks - had a look at their page. I find it a bit strange that they use the word 'harvested'. They mention it's stress free. Why not just use the actual words, like killing and slaughtering. Are they afraid it's going to turn people off? Animals can feel when they are about to die and this alone creates stress - so this whole process is certainly not stress free. I don't think you can kill a living being (e.g. cows or pigs) that doesn't want to be killed - in a humane way. We have to face the fact that our demand for meat creates animal suffering and when it comes to factory farming also environmental destruction and poor working conditions for other humans. We then have to ask ourselves why are we eating meat - for survival or for pleasure? In modern socities it's mostly for pleasure - which then becomes a moral question, i.e. does my demand for meat justify all the things mentioned above? Also, when you look up the definition of 'humane' it includes the words 'compassion' and 'act of kindness'. Mixing those words with killing and slaughtering (when it's not necessary for ones survival) somehow doesn't go well together. But making an effort to only purchase meat from those farms you mentioned is still better than purchasing meat that comes from factory farms.
