Executive summary: The post argues for establishing an organization modeled after Transparency International to improve farm animal welfare by increasing transparency in the production chain through standard auditing methods, public reporting, ranking systems, traceability measures, and labeling schemes.
Key points:
Lack of transparency enables companies to circumvent reforms and prevents assessing the true effectiveness of animal welfare policies.
Increased transparency would promote accountability, compliance with standards, and enhancement of welfare practices.
An organization focused on transparency could develop reporting frameworks, auditing processes, traceability systems, sourcing policies requiring transparency, and welfare labeling schemes.
Transparency initiatives could include public sharing of independent audit results, animal-based health monitoring, stockmanship qualifications, slaughter line inspections, and transparency rankings of companies.
Increased consumer awareness through transparent labeling, traceability, sourcing policies, and educational campaigns could help bridge the gap between preferences and realities.
