Sir, – Over 900 million animals are reared for food every year – that’s a staggering number. If we want them all to enjoy a higher standard of welfare, we all need to do our bit.
This week is RSPCA Freedom Food Farm Animal Week. The charity wants us all to think more about where our meat, poultry, fish, eggs and dairy products come from and persuade us to choose welfare-friendly products such as those labelled with their Freedom Food logo.
If we all make a few small changes to the way we shop, we’ll reward all those great British farmers who are raising their animals to high standards – and encourage more to do the same. To find out more visit www.farmanimalfootprint.com
