1. thanks for the heads up... humane is subjective
many animal farmers believe that good management equals humane treatment... as long as the animal has enough to eat and is disease free (and there is money made), it is good, no matter the animal may never see daylight or interact with other animals naturally. Factory farms are repulsive and unhealthy.

There are good people out there that raise animals to sell for meat but I tend to believe that a large operation can never raise meat animals humanely. I have long maintained that is a person eats meat they should take part in raising/butchering it themselves.
