I think the cases of abuse and torture are isolated cases. They come to the forefront because it's not the norm. Who wants to read an article of how humanely the animals are treated? It doesn't make for sensationalism.

No doubt someone here would crawl all over me if they had watched me slaughter and dress out my rabbits, chickens and goats, but the actual killing was done swiftly. There's nothing humane in killing Anything, no matter how you do it. I've had to put down several animals to end their misery, some with shots and some with a bullet between the eyes. Each and everyone of the knew what was going down. There's no mistaking the look you get. However, it HAS to be done.
