National Pork Producers Council
The National Pork Producers Council, headquartered in Des Moines, Iowa, conducts public policy outreach on behalf of its 43 affiliated state associations, supporting nearly 69,000 U.S. pork producers and other industry stakeholders by working to establish the U.S. pork industry as a consistent and responsible supplier. This has been called into question by the NPPC's defense of the industry's standard practice of housing pregnant pigs in gestation crates, a practice which is criticized by The Humane Society and other animal welfare groups.〔http://www.humanesociety.org/issues/confinement_farm/facts/gestation_crates.html〕 The NPPC supports a variety of housing systems (including gestation crates as well as open pen housing), each of which has advantages and disadvantages concerning animal welfare according to the American Veterinary Medical Association.〔https://www.avma.org/KB/Resources/Reports/Documents/sow_housing_tfr.pdf〕
== Political Involvement ==
According to NPPC's website, their mission is to "fight for legislation and regulations, develop revenue and market opportunities and protect the livelihoods of America’s 67,000 pork producers. Public policy issues on which it focuses are in the areas of agriculture and industry, animal health and food safety, environment and energy, and international trade." 〔("National Pork Producers Council" )〕
Beyond legislation and regulation, NPPC is involved in the political process through a political action committee, PorkPAC. The PAC seeks to educate the public and support candidates at the state and federal levels who support the industry.〔("National Pork Producers Council" )〕
