Pacelle was named one of NonProfit Times' "Executives of the Year" in 2005 for his leadership in responding to the Hurricane Katrina crisis.

The only way is : GO VEGAN. Farm Animals welfare was designed only to make people feel less guilty about eating meat.
-

I was totally on board with this until he started talking about the levels of welfare of the animals within the industry and how we should start demanding the farming of animals who somehow have a "better life". Who are we to determine how happy an animal is to be slaughtered? Once again people are getting this wrong. Buying meat or dairy that is "free-range" and "grass fed" means absolutely nothing to the animal. That only satisfies YOU, not the animal. The animal is still killed and the environment of the world and the people in it still suffer.

Until we are farmed - then we will understand.

We are not carnivores. We don’t eat the anus, nose, brains, tongue, genitals and intestines. We have to heat meat up to ingest it, what other carnivores selectively eat meat like humans? Our intestines are the same length as every vegetable eating sentient being (30+ feet long) unlike carnivores (15-20 feet long) because their bodies have evolved to push it out faster. We can move our jaws side to side like every vegetable eating being. Carnivores can only move their jaws up and down. What other sentient being drinks milk outside of its own species let alone past adolescence? It doesn’t naturally exist! You think eating meat is natural then please point me in the direction where the lions have zebras in a meat processing facilities. Get it through your thick skull that we are not meant to digest meat. Look at the health statistics of meat eaters vs. vegetarians vs. vegans. Do your own research and pull the veil that has been placed over your eyes. I guarantee if you met me you wouldn’t know I was vegan based on looks and conversation. We can lead completely ethical lives without sacrificing what you believe to be “necessity”.

This pleasant dream world he's imagining is not sustainable at the rate we consume meat. How about we actually try encouraging people to do something rather than make them feel good by putting a bandaid on the issue? #govegan
-
Well, at least we now know the Humane Society is fuking bullshit! Bigger prisons? That's the "humane" society's solution?
Go vegan: health, wealth, and knowledge of yourself...
-
We have 2 choices, either support a future with laboratory grown meat or go vegan. Animal cruelty needs to stop and also it's about rescuing our environment our planet.
-
How about we just stop this bullshit industrial farming and go back to more of a natural farming environment. This Big Business Industrial World has gotten outta control. Its just too many people to take care of. Demand is getting to large for these businesses to give people what they want. Humans need to start taking responsibility for themselves and live independently.

Go vegan!
-
i love how disconnected this is... what he is suggesting, even if it was morally okay - which it isn't cause murder is murder, is not possible in a world with such a high demand for meat. people consume too much of it, and it's not efficient to give animals more space, not only is it not efficient - it's also harmful for the planet. making space is not as easy as he says, you need to get the space somewhere = cut down more forests... simple solution, stop force breeding animals and go vegan. that's what we're biologically (don't confuse culture and tradition in here) designed to eat.

This elitist hunter hating money grubbing POS needs a prison cell.

where there is animal worship the is human sacrifice. GK Chesterton.
-
full of BS!
-
Ending Animal exploytation is the only answer. You are only helping them continue to hurt animals. It is like giving them a licence to do kill, rape and use animals by saying its more humane. It does not make it any more moral to say its humane it does not justify any of it.
-
Your still not helping the animals! Murderers!
-
This is hypocritical. GO VEGAN !
