Nope. Only if you're getting it from a halal slaughterhouse (halal is the Arabic word for the way meat-animals are killed in a ritually respectful manner)... and that ain't very Western, is it?
You consider a halal slaughterhouse more humane than the western industrialized version? In industrialized methods the cow is knocked unconscious before the throat slit. In halal they are still live and awake. And I've seen first hand the halal method, and I see it no more "respectful."
