slaughter standards under animal Welfare labeling Programs
Standards have been created for beef cattle, dairy cattle, young dairy beef (veal), pigs,
sheep, goats, turkeys, meat chickens and egg-laying hens. Certified Humane standards
do not currently exist for species such as ducks, geese, rabbits, deer and farmed fish;
however, it is the goal of the program to eventually address standards for at least some of
these additional animals.
The program requires that any operation using CAK submit a full protocol for review by
their scientific committee. According to Humane Farm Animal Care, standards for the
slaughter of egg-laying hens are being further researched.
