Major Issues with Beef Production
- Farrowing Cages: sows are contained to a small area in the cage that allows them to stand up and lay down; this prevents them from laying on piglets while they are feeding
- Tail Docking: tails are cut off of piglets to prevent tail chewing and infection
- Tusk Clipping: tusks are clipped in the piglets mouth to prevent serious injuries from biting
- Animal Care: Taking the Mystery Out of Pork Production at Smithfield Foods
- Undercover at Smithfield Foods
Conclusion
- Hormone Implants: implants are placed in the back of the ear to increase the growth of the cow
- Branding: animals are restrained and a frozen or hot branding iron is placed on the animal and a permanent design is transferred on the animal for identification
- Castration: bulls testicles are removed by banding or by cutting out the testicles
- De-Horning: a hot iron is placed at the base of the horn to prevent growth of the horns
Where do you stand?
After everything you have learned today, do you still feel the same way you did before we started?
Major Issues with Poultry Production
How many of you have pets or livestock?
- Beak Trimming: tips of the beaks are trimmed to reduce injury to other birds from pecking
- Overcrowding: there are usually 20,000 birds per commercial house, which leads to reduced mobility due to the number of animals in the house
- Preventative Antibiotics: preventative antibiotics are added to the birds food to prevent the spread of diseases due to the close quarters
What solutions can you think of to create a common ground between rights and welfare people?
