The food movement is very important and it’s encouraging to see certifications like this one that are raising the bar by focusing on animal rights (though I must say that I despise PETA). Also, more attention needs to go to the people behind our food, typically minorities with low incomes.

I think that many farmers probably could be Certified Humane, but either don’t want to spend the money to be inspected (over $1000) or don’t know about. In the latter case, it’s great to spread the word with blog pieces like this one.
