It stands for humanly raised meat advocates. After reading about the repulsive practices of factory farms, I decided not to support them anymore. Personally, I don’t think it is wrong to eat animals, but I will not support animal cruelty. There are plenty of family farms with good practices or proper hunting practices that give the animal a good life and provide a quick and painless death. HRMA means not eating meats found in big box stores, as they are probably from a factory farm. It means only eating meat that you know where it comes from and that it was treated well in life. HRMA is not meant for everyone, but this is the animal eating practice that works for me.

To be honest I am only using this term in case another one that I have heard before is copyrighted. I have heard other terms like an ethical meat advocate and conscious carnivore. No matter what you call it, they all have the same goal.
