' The 'Humane' Slaughter Association'; an important issue, because there is no 
such thing as humane slaughter -  as absurd as 19th century abolitionists 
campaigning for better treatment of African slaves - 'a kinder, gentler, 
"Christian slavery."' http://www.humanemyth.org/index.htm
'Objectification, dismemberment,  and consumption are the infrastructure of 
>violence. They are the ways in which animals and women are made absent: 
>Objectification permits the oppressor to view another being as an object. The 
>oppressor then violates this being by object-like treatment, e.g., the rape of 
>woman that denies women freedom by saying no or the butchering of animals that 
>converts animals from living breathing beings into dead objects. This process 
>allows fragmentation, or brutal dismemberment, and finally consumption. . . 
>Consumption is the fulfillment of oppression, the annihilation of will, of 
>separate identity. ' The Sexual Politics of Meat, Carol Adams

"The idyllic scene was nothing more than death row, where every creature's days 
were numbered by the point at which it was no longer of service to human 
beings....We can see quite plainly that our present  civilisation is built on 
the exploitation of animals, just as past civilisations were built on the 
exploitation of slaves..." Donald Watson, co-founder of the vegan movement, who 
coined the word 'vegan' in the 1940's. 

I suggest a visit to the Humane Myth website, Tribe of Heart's offshoot: 
(above):

'Animals who are destined for an abbreviated life that ends in a violent 
death now called to my conscience and required me to show up, and where I could, 
show what little bit of mercy I can. Since I have made this conscious 
decision to show mercy, my life has been blessed a million, million times over 
and I have found a deep peace. So no, in my experience, there is no such thing 
as humane animal products, humane farming practices, humane transport, orhumane 
slaughter.' ex farmer and founder of Farmkind Harold Brown.

And also Professor Gary Francione's brilliant website The Abolitionist 
Approach http://www.abolitionistapproach.com/

 Re Lush, it is interesting to see that there are 2 HSA's with what would seem 
to be quite different 

http://hsa.enviroweb.org/

http://www.hsa.org.uk/ 

using every press opportunity to remind the public that hunts are still hunting 
and killing our wildlife,

Everything is connected
Creation is an ongoing process
Frequencies exist in all things
Harmony is one

well the Hunt Sabs are def not an environmental stance - they are as radical 
animal rights as it gets! I've never heard of a major company doing anything 
like that before!

They also support Climate Rush, including use of a room above their Carnaby St 
shop, and involve their staff, so seems not to be just greenwash.

Can I also say that Lush gained my full respect when they funded the Hunt
