I have done so much research on this topic. I'm afraid that you guys have gone the wrong direction. Vegetarians made big strides, and farmers changed their ways, spending billions worldwide in the process. Now we can get properly sourced meat, eggs and honey (just to name three). By NOT supporting those farmers, who have supported the ORIGINAL movement, which is proper humane meat and egg production, you are turning this whole movement backwards.

Honey is a whole other story... But same same, source your food right (this also goes for vegetables). Bees in nature surrounding western civilisations are dying because of the pesticides we spray TO KEEP BUGS OFF VEGETABLES... (I won't go there, it's simple enough...). So because of this, people started making bee hives at home, and keeping them safe from pesticides, as well as keeping them away from bees in nature to avoid spreading disease. This is proper sourcing... Many of these people are vegetarians and pro permiculturilists. By not supporting them, backwards...seeing a pattern?

And finally... In Australia at least, every single piece of kangaroo meat found in supermarkets, including the billionaires, Coles and woolworths, are provided by hunters. No kangaroo farms, they're a pest!
In order for a kangaroo to be allowed into this market, a hunter must be licensed. Once licensed, you receive X amount of tags. Shoot the gutts(ruins the meat), sell the skin. Head shot, sell the meat. There is NO incentive to just leave a roo dead if you can sell the skin and meat for good money. In fact, farmers have big problems with kangaroos eating their crops (meat doesn't grow on trees...), so they hire hunters to kill them. Your vegetables are also responsible for killing animals.

I hope this is all making sense to you guys... I'm not hating, I'm an educator. I am FOR the betterment of humanity. And I've done a lot of research on this topic. Please do yours, and make the right decision.
