In my opinion, the answer will vary according to the person you put the question to. Producers are very concerned by the well-being of animals.
Back then it was precisely because of that concern that engineers, agronomists and veterinarians advised us to bring in gestation stalls, because they thought that the animals would be less aggressive and would receive better care.
Since then, the five animal rights were brought in, including freedom of movement and the freedom to be able to turn around. That did not exist when the gestation stalls were brought in.
Today, the general trend is based on common sense. In my opinion, we have to be proactive and move towards that, since consumers are going to be asking for it, increasingly.
As you no doubt know, members of the Retail Council of Canada announced a few weeks ago that they will be no longer be purchasing any hogs from farms that use gestation cages as of 2022. That is the general trend we are seeing.
At the same time, farmers must be given time to adapt. They must most of all be given funding, because these changes will entail enormous costs, and hog production is not a very lucrative endeavour at this time.
