“Free range,�� “cage free,�� and “certified humane�� labels are just as meaningless for farmed animals as are “all natural�� labels. Just like farmed animals enslaved by organic industries, farmed animals exploited by “free range,�� “cage free,�� and “certified humane�� producers are routinely debeaked, disbudded, detoed, castrated, their tails are docked, and/or they are branded (depending on the species). Neither do “free range�� and “certified humane�� labels protect cows from perpetual impregnation, pregnancy, birth, calfsnatching, transport, or dismemberment (slaughter) at a very young age. Finally, “free range,�� “cage free,�� and “certified humane�� labels fail to help “spent�� hens, who are sent to slaughter at the same youthful age.”
