Nibert DA (2013) Animal oppression and human violence: domesecration, capitalism, and global conflict. Columbia University Press, New York Prior to conducting the poll on banning slaughterhouses, the researchers informally surveyed a variety of farmed animal activists and scholars on their expectations of the results. Most respondents reasoned based first on the number of vegetarians, ~6%, then accounting for the fact that some vegetarians do not want to impose their vegetarianism on society as a whole, and the fact that survey results tend to usually be a little close to 50–50 than expected because some respondents do not read the questions thoroughly. Few activists or scholars expected results above 20%. The remarkable survey finding of 47% surprised everyone involved in the research. It was also confirmed in a replication of the survey by a different group of researchers who did not believe the original results (Norwood and Murray, 2018).

Four legs good, two legs better! Four legs good, two legs better! Four legs good, two legs better!"Reese, Jacy (16 November 2018). "There's no such thing as humane meat or eggs. Stop kidding yourself". The Guardian . Retrieved 5 August 2019. For thousands of years, humans have sat second to no living plant or animals when it comes to our own morality. If you start at the lowest rung of consciousness, you’ll have to climb the entire evolutionary ladder to reach humans. Many philosophers did just this and recognized that we are, in fact, exceptional creatures, so exceptional that those ladder rungs become degrees of moral separation.

We believe every farm animal deserves a life worth living, free from cages, confinement, and suffering: free to roam and express their natural behaviours. The welfare and wellbeing of these intelligent, sensitive creatures is at the heart of all we do. He goes on to say that clean meat isn’t vegan. “It’s not an alternative to meat: It is meat.” However, he notes that “When you consider how inhumanely and unnaturally meat is produced, clean meat seems like the naturally preferable option.” Creswell JW (2009) Research design: qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods approaches, 3rd edn. Sage Publications, Thousand OaksAn excerpt from the book on the topic of humane animal agriculture was featured in The Guardian.

Animals are dying by the billions, none without a fight, for human motives. As soon as it is economically feasible, clean meat will dramatically cut down on animal slaughter, eliminate the need to continually breed animals for their meat, and enables previously suffering animals to live fuller, more enjoyable lives.
