There's often a disparity between how people -think- animals are treated when they buy product x and how that actually plays out for the producer. "Free range" or "cage free" chicken is notorious for this. All a producer has to do to qualify as free range is give the chickens "access" to the outdoors..but ofc this is trained out of them by a pavlovian response to feeders. The door to the battery is open for five minutes..but a smart producer runs his feeders then..and so the chickens never -want- to go outside.
Anybody ever wonder what they do with all the roosters? You have an egg, it's pretty much 50/50 male or female...but the males have little to no economic value. So..what is the "humane" way to dispose of all those little unwanted eaters? It's a super high tech method called "stuffing them all into a pile in a trash bag and suffocating them as soon as they can be sexed".
Funding these markets under the assumption that one is securing better treatment for animals actually does precisely the opposite. If you want your food grown or raised a certain way..find a producer that does it, where you can go watch them do it, and buy direct. That;'s the only way to get what you want..what you think you're paying for. It will always be this way, so long as the industry itself steers legislation. Compassion is not profitable, at least not as much as the illusion of compassion is.
