Prestage Farms in Goodwell, Oklahoma has joined the voices speaking out about the Humane Society of the United States’ video which claims that Prestage Farms and Seaboard Foods practice inhumane treatment of pigs. Veterinarian Ron Prestage says – we recognize our moral and ethical obligation to provide for the responsible treatment of our animals. Any willful mistreatment or neglect of animals is unacceptable. Prestage Farms takes animal well-being very seriously and has a history of implementing programs that help train our employees on proper animal care, handling and transporting procedures.

Officials at Prestage Farms have initiated an internal investigation into HSUS allegations at units located in Oklahoma. Prestage noted that if it is found that any employee engaged in activities contrary to the company’s animal well-being policies, disciplinary action will be taken, including termination of employment.
