1 world. That is why it was sent to Linda too.
2

4 A. Excuse me?
5
6 Q. But you are not all giving evidence?
7 A. No, but she needs to be aware if it is a good thing.
8 He thought it was good for me and to Linda to see.
9
10 Q. Was the purpose of that because you did not have your own
11 terms and definitions?
12 A. Finally you are asking some questions. We have terms
13 and definitions but you have to understand that the terms
14 of one country.
15
16 MR. JUSTICE BELL: The question was whether it was sent to you
17 because you do not have your own terms and definitions?
18 A. Oh no. We do not have terms and definitions for the
19 entire welfare of animals. We understand that the welfare
20 of animals include everything here. Here it is very
21 limiting, some of the discussions that we had, OK, is
22 limited to hunger and thirst. So if you are feeding the
23 wrong diet and as long as they do not go hungry or thirsty
24 it is OK according to this. For our purposes the need goes
25 far beyond that.
26
27 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Yes, very well.
28
29 MR. MORRIS: You do not have in the US a written animal welfare
30 policy such as this, do you?
31 A. Such as this one, no, we do not.
32
33 Q. You do not have a written animal welfare policy?
34 A. I have seen a small statement, half a page, regarding
35 animal welfare, the concept, but in detail, no, I do not
36 see the need for being in detail because you can, even you
37 can take check the (indecipherable) and tear it apart
38 because many times it is not real, it is not merchantable
39 and it is very limiting.
40
41 Q. Just one final question. The documents which you saw at
42 Coope Montecillos and in Costa Rica McDonald's that you
43 gave evidence on in December, something like 20 documents
44 going back 10 years on the controversy that is part of this
45 case, have you informed the Plaintiffs, the legal people,
46 or whatever, where those documents were?
47 A. No, I have not.
48
49 Q. Can you just say exactly where they were, where you saw
50 them?
51 A. Can you be more specific? That was a long time ago.
52 You are talking about documents.
53
54 Q. You said when you were here in December that documents
55 going back 10 years about Coope Montecillos?
56 A. Yes, I testified about that before.
57
58 Q. Yes. Could you say where they are?
59 A. I saw them in Costa Rica. I saw them at the office in
60 my office in Oak Brook.
