Based on experiences from stakeholders, this paper describes and discusses Danish emergency procedures when animal transport vehicles overturn, from a One Welfare perspective. Twenty qualitative interviews were conducted with selected stakeholders involved in emergency responses and their co-ordination. Results from interviews were extracted and are presented as a description of the Danish emergency management procedures in situations where pig transport vehicles overturn in a traffic accident. The description is followed by a discussion of six identified themes related to animal welfare and One Welfare in such situations: (1) Standard operating procedures; (2) Balancing animal welfare and work safety; (3) Roles, education and experience; (4) Communication, time and access to animals; (5) Debriefing; and (6) Killing of animals. Overall, the analyses of the interviews showed that the emergency response at an overturned pig transport vehicle involves different professional groups, requires technical knowledge regarding animal transport vehicles as well as knowledge of the species involved and how to handle the animals. The results are discussed from a One Welfare perspective, suggesting that these emergency responses include an inherent societal prioritisation dilemma involving the balancing of, for example, training, preparation and debriefing of different professional groups. Further research is needed to address ethical considerations, share best practices, and enhance emergency protocols.
基于利益相关者的经验，本文从“同一健康”的视角描述并讨论了丹麦在动物运输车辆翻车时的应急程序。我们对参与应急响应及其协调工作的选定利益相关者进行了20次定性访谈。访谈结果被提取出来，呈现为对丹麦在生猪运输车辆在交通事故中翻车情况下的应急管理程序的描述。在该描述之后，讨论了在这种情况下与动物福利和“同一健康”相关的六个确定主题：（1）标准操作程序；（2）平衡动物福利与工作安全；（3）角色、教育和经验；（4）沟通、时间与接触动物的机会；（5）汇报总结；（6）动物的宰杀。总体而言，访谈分析表明，对翻车的生猪运输车辆的应急响应涉及不同专业群体，需要有关动物运输车辆的技术知识以及所涉物种的知识和如何处理这些动物的知识。从“同一健康”的视角对结果进行了讨论，表明这些应急响应包括一个内在的社会优先排序困境，涉及例如不同专业群体的培训、准备和汇报总结的平衡。需要进一步开展研究以解决伦理考量、分享最佳实践并完善应急方案。
