I’m pretty sure most AgWired fans like a good steak or hamburger and some, myself included, like a wide variety of fruits and vegetables. Right? We support our farmers and ranchers and that includes meat producers of all types. We know that in order to be successful they have to take good care of their animals. That’s partly why we get so annoyed with animal rights wackos who try to paint a whole industry with a misinformed brush just to further their own views which they try to force on everyone else. The worst offenders are groups like HSUS who use emotional misinformation campaigns to try to get unnecessary and devastating laws passed, like they’re doing here in Missouri with their stupid ballot initiative to damage legitimate dog breeders.

Now the World Society for the Protection of Animals has an “Eat Humane Food Guide” iPhone app. You get a flavor for where they’re at right up front in the description of the app which states that most food found in American grocery stores comes from poor animals who have endured extreme suffering and raised in conditions that are “linked” to health and environmental problems. Of course that’s not exactly true is it? There’s plenty of science to the contrary which I’ve linked to on AgWired in the past. I just love the irony of their concern for animals and how they’re treated before they’re turned into hamburger or a variety of roasts.

So, if you want to take their word for it and find “humane” meat then get their app. Hopefully though you won’t buy into their rhetoric about modern food production that’s being done by hard working farmers who care about their animals and the land they live on.
