How can you help?

Look for the label...
...If you eat lamb or other animal products and are concerned about animal welfare, then look out for the 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 strict RSPCA welfare standards developed and monitored by the RSPCA. The Freedom Food website provides information on where to buy Freedom Food labelled food. If you can't find Freedom Food labelled lamb then look for products produced from animals reared in extensive systems or organic.

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

Confront a woolly issue with retailers...
...Next time you are shopping for products containing wool, please consider asking the retailer about the welfare of the sheep the wool has come from. Has it been sourced from Australian Merino sheep that might have been mulesed? If so, what is the retailer doing to help solve this welfare issue?
