BARB DETERMAN - National Pork Producers Council

Food Day (Wednesday, October 24th) raised national concerns about animal welfare, particularly on the life of young pigs and how they are treated on the farm. For example, a misleading film with an animated piglet was used to target children and raise undue concern among consumers about pork production and how food is really grown and raised. Unfortunately, the animated film didn’t include the point-of-view of a real farmer. Instead, the film used emotion and children’s entertainment to manipulate the American public, without providing an accurate account of farming.  The truth is that farmers and ranchers of all sizes are committed to the humane treatment of their animals. Farmers and ranchers take animal welfare seriously. Caring for animals, in cooperation with veterinarians, is paramount to a safe and healthy food supply. Farmers and ranchers use a variety of animal husbandry practices, housing strategies and healthcare to decrease disease risk and promote animal health. Additionally, farmers and ranchers recognize consumers’ concerns regarding animal care and understand there is no one perfect system. Improvements on farms across the nation continue as farmers and ranchers look for solutions that work best for them and the animals they raise. The bottom line is that today’s farm animals live healthier lives than ever before.
