Animal welfare labelling empowers consumers to make informed choices about the meat products they buy. We would like to see Defra UK continue the progress made under the previous Government to implement a system of animal welfare labelling for meat products in the UK

Shocking that the government’s first animal welfare policy is an amendment to legalise the practice of handling chickens by their legs. This is incompatible with the claim of “Labour will introduce the biggest boost for animal welfare in a generation” Handling chickens by their

We are disappointed by the Government's response to the consultation on handling chickens in Great Britain. This proposal is a backward step for millions of animals & will undermine public trust in the Government's commitments to uphold high standards …nservativeanimalwelfarefoundation.org/conservative-a…
