Instead of replying to my criticism of the current methods for grisslakt, and select, the State board of agriculture as to call into question whether or not I am able to manage my emotions and in my future profession as a vet. It is understandable that you feel your being challenged, and in your position, you have to defend your interpretation of the animal welfare act. However, I was hoping for a response more in line with the research, and that might inspire some hope of a brighter future.
I agree with you. We need to make objective decisions based on science and proven experience. In the year 2012 to 2015 funded the Agriculture department, a major research report for the SLU in order to find out how the stunning, high levels of carbon dioxide, is affecting the pigs. The results showed that the method is extremely ångestframkallande. The gas will burn when inhaled, and the pigs are trying in a panic to climb up, on the other, in order to get the air out. It can take up to a minute for the pigs to a lack of oxygen, loss of consciousness. Despite the fact that the Agriculture department itself commissioned the report, the authority has taken remarkably little attention to the results of the study. Maybe it’s time for you to listen to your own research?
It is certainly an important part of the work is to be able to kill the animal. I prefer, however, as it is quick and without prolonged suffering.
the EUROPEAN union’s strange köttkampanj
the treaty of Lisbon entered into force on 1 december 2009. Article 13 the recognition of animals as sentient beings, as well as to the EU member states, the commission shall take full account of their well-being. The european food safety authority recommended that as early as 2004, the phase-out of carbon dioxide as a stunning method. Unfortunately, very little has happened since then. Instead, the EUROPEAN union has funded a new campaign, ”Love pig”. Behind it is branchorganisationen American meat, as well as the Danish equivalent of the Landbrug & Fødevarer. 26.9 million kronor is to be invested with a view to encouraging the young consumers, between 18 to 29 years old to make ”good food, with pork”. In a stunning move, especially considering the current climate debate.
Sitting in the double seats
the Swedish board of Agriculture has been out of work. It should, among other things, to promote the Swedish agriculture and industry, as well as to ensure a high level of animal welfare. Sometimes, these interests are hand-in-hand. Sometimes it doesn’t. I understand that it is not an easy task, Håkan Henrikson, to be Approved by the chefsveterinär and economic development director. I’m going to have to be on the safe side, and just to be a veterinarian. I agree with you, it is definitely an important part of the work is to be able to kill the animal. I prefer, however, as it is quick and without prolonged suffering. And in the animal’s best ahead of the financial interests of the community. However, where our opinions obviously differ.
