What do you think of Adele Douglass and the Certified Humane label?

Adele Douglass is the founder of Certified Humane and a hero of mine (I’m not a Vegan). I don’t hero worship, I’m sure we have plenty of disagreements, yet that doesn’t change anything regarding my feelings toward her.

Certified Humane is an animal welfare certification (run by the Humane Farm Animal Care) that sets standards for how farm animals are raised, handled, and processed.

It has specific guidelines for producers on humane treatment, like space, diet, care, etc. It is in fact a farming organization, so it is pro killing animals and raising them for meat and dairy. It just wants to do it humanely - even if you find that to be oxymoronic. They also require checkups and inspections in order for producers to keep using the label.

The non factory farming approach and not using antibiotics is done for humane purposes, but it also has a tremendous positive impact on health and the environment.

I assume animal rights groups wouldn’t like her because she is pro farming, however she did win an RSPCA award.

So, what do Vegans think of her and the Certified Humane label? I assume it won’t be nice but I’m still curious.
