Ethics:

It is inherently not adaptable to a national or international solution. Local organic meat is for an elite few, and not a practicable alternative to the massive crisis of industrial meat production.” (link)

- “How many humane groups does it take to figure out that an animal welfare organization should champion the saving, not the taking, of animal life?” (link)
