Organic Dairy Products

I am an off / on vegetarians, mainly for moral reasons (the modern man does not need extreme animal suffering due to survive more).

I still eat dairy and eggs, and I know that even if these animals are not killed for their body, they often live in horrible conditions, too.

All things being equal, do they treat animals more humanely in biological conditions?

Thank you.

In theory, eggs and dairy products labeled "organic" would be more human to animals, but in practice this is not necessarily true. A large number of "free range" chickens have slightly better than their counterparts in the battery-cage, but they are still confined indoors in overcrowded and unhealthy circumstances. organic dairy cows are supposed to have access to pasture, but again, the gaps are badly abused by many organic "Big" producers. Horizon is well known for this, for example.

There is a good website that organic dairies rates according to their treatment of their animals: http://cornucopia.org/dairysurvey/

Unfortunately, I do not know of anything equivalent for chicken, but you can try the following resources to find a local producer of eggs in authentic outdoor:

In theory, yes.

For animal products to be certified organic, they require that livestock be housed under certain conditions, and fed according to established guidelines.

Below is a link to what happens in certifying that the chicken is organic.

But consider this - what happens to the chicken when it is too old to lay eggs? Probably ends in chicken soup somewhere.

Also, think about the beef industry hand in hand with the dairy industry when you are consuming milk products.

From what I see, not really. I can not speak for the eggs, but I go through an organic dairy on a regular basis. It looks exactly like a regular dairy. Enough of being organic, cows must be in a separate establishment of regular cows, they must be organically produced feed, and they can not have any vet pharma given to them. In addition, the production is quite similar.

No, they are not treated in a humane manner. (Not that I think most animals are mistreated in any way, and I think it's highly educated).
In fact, they may suffer more. How do you suffer through months of pneumonia as young calves, because nobody can give you a shot that is clearly in days. Calf pneumonia pretty easy, it is very common. There are many other diseases that animals should suffer well. Yeah, natural remedies, I have used, not like them. They help the animal once the disease on its own. There are some bugs (or combos of bugs) that the animal can not knock. Plain and simple.
Organic milk is the biggest scam in the world with free-range eggs. The townspeople do not know. They listen to PETA, but do not really know.
The truth is:
Free travel is nothing more than a giant barn full of chickens, free to cluster in corners and peck each other to death. They get the same space (square feet per bird) like chickens in cages.
Organic milk is exactly the same as regular milk. You can argue rbST (the deaf), but there are tons of shops that sell only rbST-free milk. So in this case, you have found exactly the same thing. H.
