Beef cattle - how can you help?

Look for the label...

...If you eat beef, look out for products carrying the RSPCA’s Freedom Food logo. Freedom Food is the RSPCA’s farm animal welfare and food labelling scheme that aims to ensure that animals are reared, handled, transported and slaughtered according to welfare standards developed and monitored by the RSPCA.

If more consumers insist on higher welfare products, more supermarkets will stock them, more farmers will be encouraged to improve their farming practices, and more farm animals will benefit.

Write to your supermarket...

...and ask about the welfare standards the cattle were inspected to. In particular, you might like to ask about some of the key beef cattle welfare issues and ask how they ensure these are avoided.

If you are concerned about farm animal welfare, why not learn about the welfare of some other types of farm animals.
