Consumers seek to curb farm animal suffering
Article Abstract:
The large corporate farms which are taking the place of small family operations are often more concerned with maximizing productivity and profit than with farm animal welfare. Corporate leadership can improve animal welfare by insisting that suppliers follow humane standards. Both animal protection and transportation laws need to be revised to take account of current industry trends. Meat and poultry producers need more involvement in humane farm animal treatment. All concerned need to enforce higher standards and train personnel in humane animal handling.
