Evidence for that "Animal welfare"-reform leads to "happy exploitation" ?

There is no evidence that "Animal welfare"-reforms leads us any tiny bit closer to abolition. And you can study any page of any "Animal welfare"-organization and see the reactions of the public commenting on those posts. Often people proudly write: "I buy free range eggs". "I drink only organic milk". "I buy locally produced meat". Etcetera. People think that the "treatment" of animals is the problem; and this paradigm becomes reinforced everytime we advocate for "Animal welfare"-reform instead of advocating for Abolition of all slavery. The moral confusion is enormous on the "Animal welfare"-pages, and often the moderators don't do a thing to bring clarity to the confused non-vegans commenting on their page and promoting products of "happy exploitation". They let people stay in the nonvegan cloud of confusion. I got banned from Mercy for Animals Canada for promoting veganism and educating people to understand that all consumption of animal foods, use of animals for clothes, etc., is animal exploitation.

There is a reason of why Whole Foods cooperate with "Animal welfare"-organizations to promote "Animal Compassionate" Standards, which consists of a marketing scheme promoting "happy exploitation" of animals:

They know that efforts like that increase their sales.
Please study the link and the provided resources.

One excerpt: "To learn how the agenda of large corporate animal charities and that of one of the largest meat retailers in America merged, ushering in the "happy meat" era during which self-described vegans began developing and promoting "new and improved" animal products, view the 12 minute video,"Breaking Veganism"

To see how the reputation of formerly respected animal advocates, along with the credibility of large animal protection charities, are currently being put in service of developing and promoting misleading "humane" labeling schemes which serve to increase profits for animal-exploiting mega-corporations like Whole Foods, view the 9 minute video Putting the Happy in Happy Meat"

PETA's and 'animal welfare-organizations undercover investigations are problematic

PETA does not advocate veganism as a moral baseline and also their undercovercover investigations are problematic:
"Using the Land-o-Lakes investigation as an example, we see that PETA’s blog report on the investigation emphasizes how important it is for Land-o-Lakes to “buy milk only from farms that meet our 12-point animal welfare plan, which would prevent much of the suffering we documented at this farm.” PETA’s 12-point animal welfare plan reads like an industry consultant’s quality control recommendations and refers to industry’s own standards and literature (e.g. Elanco Body Scoring Chart for Dairy Cattle and the American Veterinary Medical Association’s AVMA Guidelines on Euthanasia). [1]
Does PETA suggest that people go vegan? No. The blog report states “For those of you who can’t stomach the thought of eating butter after watching that video, take a minute to tell Land-o-Lakes to implement our 12-point animal welfare plan. Then check out one of the many vegan butter alternatives that are widely available.”"

PETA's approach is counterproductive and supports 'happy exploitaiton'.

When animal organizations do undercover investigations, claim to have uncovered "animal cruelty," and celebrate when individual employees plead "GUILTY!," they imply to the public (99% of which consumes animal products), that there is animal use that is "cruel" and animal use that is not "cruel." They imply to the public that justice has been served when justice will never be served for animals until they are no longer exploited and killed.

Simply put, we must shift the paradigm from the idea there are individual acts of "animal cruelty" in the animal use industries that exploit and kill 110 billion animals per year to the idea the animal use industries themselves must end by removing the demand for animal products by creating vegans. The animal use industries are a monstrous conglomeration of billions of individual acts of "animal cruelty." And the problem is not the supply; the problem is the demand.
