Audit culture or animalwelfare culture?

摘要

COLLETTE KASTER LIKES to remind customers the current animal welfare programs implemented across the United States didn't happen overnight. It's been a 30-year process.The executive director of the Professional Animal Auditor Certification Organization told attendees at the 2019 Pig Welfare Symposium during the panel discussion, "Evolution of Animal Welfare Programs in the Supply Chain," that it's also important to remember animal welfare isn't auditing alone. Auditing is just one part of a pork production system's robust animal welfare program."You can have an audit culture, or you can have an animal welfare culture; and audit culture is about just getting through it, making sure you pass and then going back to doing business," Raster said. "I like to think that in pork processing, in both the farm as well as in the meat processing, that we are evolving to a culture of animal welfare and husbandry; and the way we do that is training and accountability."
