We Care – 6 Ethical Principles for the Pork Industry
Animal Well-Being
We affirm our obligation to protect and promote animal well-being.
Safe food begins with healthy animals and quality care. Animal well-being is our ethical responsibility and it’s a top focus every day on the farm. Farmers promote well-being through the feed, water, and environment they provide, and by offering proper care, handling and transportation at each stage of life. We protect pig health through appropriate treatment and veterinary care, when needed.
