Tyson Foods, one of the world’s international leader in the food industry for especially chicken, beef and pork faced some serious concerns by media, customers and general public regarding the animal abuse that had been seen at one of their farms where they physically,rashly mistreated piglets.The company also deceived the media by changing statements about having any connections with that particular farms, but later accepted buying from them.

The main reason behind this act as understood was that many companies like Tyson have a wide range of competitors which could at times make the profit margin fall very low if costs were rising, and treating animals well, and taking good care of them does increase costs, therefore, the higher profits they achieve are at the cost of tortured animals.

This is highly immoral, and not only will this effect consumers of pork, but will effect all their consumers and other stake holders world-wide keeping in mind how terribly the animals whose meat is sold and consumed, are treated.

A Youtube video on the treatment of animals is linked below.
