Ask Your Butcher

Is it possible to get meat that is not only humanely-raised, but also humanely-butchered?  I know an argument can be made that butchering methods are not so inhumane, but I mean something akin to the way you would treat an elderly, beloved pet.  By this, I mean meat that was allowed to enjoy life until a mature age then given anesthesia prior to transport and butchering?  If no such thing is available, could it be? If not, why not? 

What is the difference between the Vintage beef and choice beef?  Do the same terms apply to pork?
