The RSPCA has called for increased welfare for chickens reared for meat.

The RSPCA quite rightly states that the welfare of many chickens being reared for cheap food is very much below acceptable levels.

It is to be hoped that the RSPCA's own house is in order on their 'Freedom Food' chicken farms. However, no one can check, as the location of their farms is secret. I say to the RSPCA: tell us where all your farms are and let us all see how you lead the farming world in welfare standards.

It is an uncomfortable situation when our key animal welfare organisation is itself in the intensive farming business. There is always a danger that vested interest can blind one to the obvious.

Cheap food policies engender corner-cutting, cost-cutting, lack of respect for the animals involved and massive welfare risks.
