There are many misleading food labels that disguise the grim reality of factory farming on meat products. I just asked the UK Government for clearer labelling, take action too! #HonestLabelling.

“The SPS agreement the EU has with Switzerland — seen as a model for the upcoming British accord — also includes its own carve-out on animal welfare.”.We urge the UK Government to secure similar carve outs in their talks with the EU on an SPS Agreement

"After nearly a decade to act there’s simply no excuse for delay. It’s shameful that Iceland is prioritising profit over moral ethics. Everyone deserves access to higher welfare food, regardless of their income." #EndTheCageAge.

The UK-Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) trade Agreement must not lead to an increase in numbers of UK farmed animals slaughtered without first being stunned, nor undermine British farmers by allowing the importation of lower-welfare meat products.

"Dame Joanna Lumley and Compassion in World Farming are right – It’s time to end the use of cages and crates for farmed animals" by @lucydahlia #EndTheCageAge.

.@CllrTerryJermy "We must have a serious conversation as to what kind of farming we need moving forwards. It must be one that protects our communities, agriculture and nature, while furthering animal welfare standards as well as harnessing food security."

Summing up the debate @lucydahlia thanks Joanna Lumley for launching the petition, all those who signed and urged the Government to now make progress toward ending the cage age. And that’s a wrap.

@DanielZeichner … also confirms that Government is looking closely at mandatory method of production labelling as part of the animal welfare strategy. Will consider #EndTheCageAge and #HomestLabelling issues as part of this process and set out further detail in due course.

The Government’s response is from @DanielZeichner who says this debate (3rd in 3 weeks) shows the support for farmed animal welfare. Recognises the need not to fall behind other nations, work with industry and that these are issues now being carefully considered….

@DrNeilHudson … makes important point that government must uphold animal welfare standards in trade, such as hormone fed beef but also including the use of crates and cages, urges Government to elaborate on the consultation response on #HonestLabelling and to address welfare in procurement.

.@DrNeilHudson speaks on behalf of the Conservatives. Thanks the 105,000 who signed petition, speaks to action of past Government including #BanLiveExports. Says it is right that we continue to raise the bar and should ban close confinement systems where science supports this….

Received a lot of heartfelt messages on this, says @DannyVet. Urges Government to work with all stakeholders to develop a national strategy to shift away from crates and cages for intelligent animals with their own personalities who can feel pain.

The need to label products so consumers can shop in line with their values is highlighted by @JoshNewburyMP. #HonestLabelling would allow consumers to support higher welfare farmers, assist those transitioning and should apply to both imported and domestically produced foods.
