Today marks the launch of humanemyth.org, a website created to “correct the misinformation that is associated with the Humane Myth, and to inspire a form of working for the peaceful transformation of our society that fully respects the inherent dignity and worth of animals and people alike.”

On the front page of the site, “humane myth” is defined as:

An idea being propagated by the animal-using industry and some animal protection organizations that it is possible to use and kill animals in a manner that can be fairly described as respectful or compassionate or humane.

Sounds like something you should definitely be checking out, and there’s a lot to see.

According to a press release available at the site, “HumaneMyth.org offers provocative new testimony from former farmers, investigators, and animal rescuers who expose fallacies associated with animal product labels such as cage-free, sustainable, organic and certified humane.”

Other features include:

HumaneMyth.org is sponsored by James LaVeck and Jenny Stein, the award-winning filmmakers behind the documentaries The Witness (2000) and Peaceable Kingdom: The Journey Home (in post-production).

James LaVeck is speaking several times at the 34th annual Vegetarian Summerfest, happening this weekend in Johnstown, PA. He speaks on the humane myth tomorrow at 10am (”Deconstructing the Humane Myth”) and Saturday at 9:55am (”Don’t Buy the Myth!”). If you’re headed out there, be sure to check out these presentations, and don’t forget to report back here!
