How can you help?

Help to improve the welfare of ducks reared for meat
If you eat duck, please look out for products carrying the RSPCA’s Freedom Food logo. Freedom Food is the RSPCA’s farm assurance and food labelling scheme that aims to ensure that animals are reared, handled, transported and slaughtered according to RSPCA 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.

Help to reduce the production and sale of foie gras
If you find foie gras for sale in a supermarket or restaurant, please do not buy the product, and write to the retailer’s head office, or speak to the restaurant manager, expressing your concerns and asking them not to stock it.

Take your concerns to the top and write to:

Commissioner John Dalli

European Commission for Health & Consumer Policy
Commission of the European Union
B-1049 BRUSSELS
Belgium

Commissioner Dalli is responsible for animal welfare in the EU. Tell him of your concerns and ask him to introduce better animal welfare legislation to effectively prohibit foie gras production.

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