Don't believe the "humane" hype! Animal products cannot be obtained without harm or suffering. The concept of "humane" dairy and eggs is often a marketing strategy that masks the inherent cruelty within these industries.
When it comes to dairy, there's no escaping the fact that cows must be impregnated to produce milk. Even in so-called "humane" operations, the separation of mother and calf is inevitable. This emotional trauma affects both mother and calf, regardless of the conditions in which they are kept. No matter how well-intentioned the practices may seem, the fundamental exploitation of animals remains unchanged.
Similarly, the label of "humane" does little to address the inherent cruelty in the egg industry. The reality is that male chicks, deemed useless in egg production, are often disposed of in horrific ways, such as being ground alive. This practice remains widespread even in so-called "humane" operations. Moreover, the living conditions of hens, even under more favorable circumstances, often involve confinement and limitations on natural behaviors. True respect and compassion for animals cannot be achieved within these exploitative systems.
