Why We Are NOT In Defense of Factory Farm Certifiers

Why We Are NOT In Defense of Factory Farm Certifiers
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook


4 min read

The Humane Society of the United States, American Society for the Prevent of Cruelty to Animals (ASCPA), and Compassion in World Farming are failing to prevent cruelty to animals—by sitting on the board of directors for the humane-washing scheme Global Animal Partnership (GAP), they have become apologists for factory farms.

The Humane Society of the U.S., ASPCA, and Others Are Betraying Animals Through GAP Support

GAP uses misleading “animal welfare certified” labels to convince consumers that they’re buying the flesh and secretions of animals who were treated better than those on other factory farms, but marketing buzzwords mean nothing for animals raised and killed for food. PETA investigators documented systemic cruelty and suffering at 12 Global Animal Partnership-certified facilities.

A PETA investigation into Sweet Stem Farm—which was certified by GAP at the time—revealed that pigs were crammed into severely crowded sheds and had painful, bloody rectal prolapses.

Another  PETA investigation into Plainville Farms—which also was, at the time, GAP certified—documented that workers there kicked, beat, and threw turkeys and left ailing birds to suffer without treatment. PETA’s investigation resulted in former Plainville Farms workers being charged with six felonies and a total of 141 counts of cruelty to animals—the largest number in any factory-farmed animal case in U.S. history. Ten former workers have been convicted so far.

Specific investigations aside, animals on GAP-certified farms can still be routinely mutilated without any painkillers, forcibly manually impregnated, and kept in factoary farm sheds that are virtually indistinquishable from oprtations that aren’t “animal welfare certified”. GAP does not prohibit companies from sending pigs into C02 gas chambers at slaughterhouses, where they convulse and slowly suffocate for up to several minutes.

When GAP was founded, a fundamental principle was that its board would be split between animal organizations and the animal-farming industry, but now it’s made up of seven factory farm industry leaders and only three animal “welfare” groups.

This makes it completely imbalanced: GAP has become little more than a humane-washing and marketing arm for the meat industry. For them to claim that they still have a voice at that table is highly suspect. 

GAP is controlled by the meat, dairy, and egg industries—and that’s why PETA and other animal protection groups, like Farm Forward, dropped their support of GAP—and why we are urging the Humane Society of the U.S., ASPCA, and Compassion in World Farming to do the same.

“The demands for accommodations became bolder and bolder until calls were made to eliminate even the fundamental principle of having a balanced board comprising half animal groups and half industry. I left the board when this shift away from the core principles upon which GAP was founded became inevitable.” Aaron Gross, Farm Forward

By Supporting GAP, These Organizations Are Promoting Animal Suffering and Death

In late 2024, GAP announced that it is phasing in the requirement that all producers follow the abysmally low standards of the “Better Chicken Commitment,” a humane-washing sham that allows chickens to continue to suffer mightily in vile, filthy, factory-farm conditions so the meat industry can profit.

Over 8 billion chickens are killed for their flesh in the U.S. each year. Almost all of these chickens, called “broilers” by the speciesist chicken industry, spend their entire lives confined in dirty sheds with tens of thousands of other birds, even when their flesh is labeled “Animal Welfare Certified” in grocery stores like Whole Foods. The intense crowding and confinement by the meat, egg, and dairy industries often lead to outbreaks of disease, such as bird flu. When the birds are only 6 or 7 weeks old, workers cram them into overcrowded crates and truck them to slaughter.

Supporting GAP Is Supporting Factory Farms

The Humane Society of the U.S., ASPCA and Compassion In World Farming can work with the meat dairy and egg industries to create “imperfect change” to the factory farm industry, but they shouldn’t be promoting misleading labels that serve to give the public the false notion that “humane meat” is anything more than a myth.

Join PETA in urging the Humane Society of the United States, the ASPCA, and CIWF to stop supporting factory farms and humane washing and start telling consumers the truth: eating animals is never humane. Go vegan—it’s easy.
