What I want to know is not only how they were raised, but how they were slaughtered. Cleanly? Humanely? How can we expect cleanly raised animals to remain so if they're fed through the same kill machine as animals who weren't? If I get beef with certified organic, grass fed and humane stamps, does that mean they were slaughtered in a different plant too? — Anonymous	04/22/2010 - 3:39pm
