Rationale The Alberta SPCA understands humans' traditional dependence on livestock as a source of food and other products and that the livestock industry provides income and employment for many people. The Alberta SPCA believes the welfare of animals must take precedence over financial considerations in humans' stewardship of those animals. The Alberta SPCA believes that the standards set out in the Recommended Codes of Practice for Farm Animals are the minimum levels of acceptable care and handling of all livestock. |
