As far as I can tell, you're approaching this from a vegetarian standpoint and your fundamental belief is that it is morally wrong to kill an animal for the purposes of eating it, which is why you say there's no "humane" way to end the life of a creature for food. I think there are many perfectly humane ways to raise and butcher animals for food. The simple fact that an animal has to die in order for it to be eaten does not, to me, make it automatically inhumane to do so, no matter how the process is carried out. But, there are ways, such as those depicted above (and I'm sure numerous other examples we could find everywhere in the world) which are humane because they deliberately eschew quickly ending the animal's life in favor of prolonging its suffering for convenience or artist value, which is what I think makes them inhumane.
I think the vegetarian viewpoint polarizes the issue-making any and all killing fundamentally inhumane-as opposed to trying to figure out when, if ever, you can kill an animal for food in a way that causes "extra" harm to the animal before it dies.
