Humane Handling is Good for Livestock...
And Good for Business

• To provide Information to members of the meat industry and their customers about government regulations, voluntary guidelines, training and customer requirements, and


• To serve as a resource to the news media and the public about the treatment of livestock in meat processing operations.
