Ask your MP to help us end misleading animal welfare labelling!

Supermarket shelves and adverts are full of assurances of high animal welfare standards, but in reality, the vast majority of farmed animals in the UK are kept in systems that do not meet their welfare needs. We’re holding an event in Parliament on 16th December to spotlight these misleading welfare labels and urge MPs to back the campaign for a new animal welfare labelling law.

Take action to let your MP know that the conditions farmed animals are kept in matters to you and ask them to join us in Parliament on 16th December to show their support for better enforcement of advertising laws and a new animal product labelling law.

Dear {contact_data~firstName} {contact_data~lastName},

As your constituent, I am writing to ask you to attend a reception about misleading animal welfare marketing of food, hosted by Humane World for Animals UK, Compassion in World Farming and the Animal Law Foundation on Tuesday 16th December. 

I am disturbed to hear that Humane World for Animals UK’s recent poll has found that animal products in supermarkets are labelled with claims like ‘welfare assured’ even when they were produced using cruel practices, like pork from farms where mother pigs are locked up in tiny cages for up to five weeks. I care deeply about animal welfare, so I am appalled that so many consumers are being misled into buying products that have caused terrible suffering.  I believe that there should be clear and accurate welfare information on all animal products in shops.  

It’s also wrong for adverts to mask the conditions that many farmed animals are raised in. From the adverts I see, viewers would expect that most farmed animals spend their whole lives freely roaming outdoors! This is misleading consumers who deserve to know how food is truly produced. It also makes it harder for British farmers to get fairly rewarded when they implement higher welfare methods. 

To learn more about these important issues and the solutions, please join Humane World for Animals UK and partners at their Parliamentary reception on 16th December 9-10.30am in the Thames Pavilion.  

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I hope you will attend this event to show me and many other constituents who care about animal welfare that you are standing up for animals in Parliament. 

Best wishes,
