Attempts to establish "humane standards" for farming that will permit people to eat animal products with a clear conscience are misguided. They are misguided in a moral sense because they fail to address the ultimate ethical issue: killing for food that we do not need to live--to put it more bluntly, killing for the pleasures of consumption.
