Are animals in organic farms treated better than animals in conventional farms?
According to vegans, they say that animals in organic farms are treated with the same level of abuse in comparison with conventional animals. Is this true? |

I'm not vegan and I've got relatives that run major 'conventional' and 'organic' ranch, dairy, poultry and egg operations. They are in FULL compliance with all regulations and are regularly inspected to assure they are in compliance.
They consider the labels organic and free range jokes!!! Under the term organic there are NO regulations regarding the treatment of the animals. As for antibiotics and hormones...They are regularly visited by a vet who gets to prescribe 'treatment' for 'sick' animals, that's a mile wide loophole under organic regulations!
Free range? For their poultry all they had to do was add a small fenced area to their buildings to pass the regulations for the birds. They still spend 90%+ of their time indoors. For cattle it only required a larger fenced area and the cattle still spend most of their time in the barns.
The milk they bottle has these terms on the label "free range", "grass fed" and "organic". They *are* legally allowed to use these terms since they're fully in compliance with the laws. The 'free range' is the fenced area outside the 'organic' milking 'shed' (actually a rather large building), the 'grass fed' is achieve by dumping grass into the feed troughs and the 'organic' milk is still obtained by vacuum milking machines that leave udders sore and susceptible to infection (and then the vet comes by).
Quite a different picture than the advertising isn't it. |

Animals on organic farms are treated much better then on conventional farms, it's not ideal but it's much better. There is another kind of farm, I forgot what it's called but their animals roam completely free and feed on natural grasses. I think it might be free range, but I'm really not sure, sorry, I'm a vegetarian. |

is no good, instead of using chemicals, they use a different kind of chemical that is legal, which is worse for human if human eats it, and human will eat it, they are not treated much better, free ranged animals are treated alittle better I guess, |

Animals on organic farms are not treated any better than other animals....fact
I live in the farming community and the organic label is a joke. Its designed to make people feel good and charge a higher price.
It has nothing to do with the quality of life for animals.
Believe me, its worse than you could ever imagine |

Orgamic is more humane most of the time because its usually that good old country family with lots of land for the animals to rome and feed, the other big companies have their animals stacked together, my uncles and aunts are farmers with their own land in North Dakota the animals have lots of land to eat and run around on |
