An excerpt:

In response to the launch of Make it Possible, Coles�has announced�that it will phase out two of the cruelest factory farming practices from their home brand products by January 2013 � a year ahead of their committed phase-out date. All of their home brand pork, bacon and ham will come from farms where mother pigs won’t be kept in tiny crates (called sow stalls) during pregnancy; and all of their home brand eggs will be cage free by the start of 2013.

This welcome news means 34,000 mother pigs will�no longer be confined to small crates�for up to 4 months during pregnancy, and that 350,000 hens will be�free from battery cages.

Caring consumers are still�encouraging Woolworths�to commit to a full phase out of their own brands of cage eggs. However, the supermarket has announced that its home brand of fresh pork is already 98% ‘sow stall free’ and that this will increase to 100% by mid-2013. As a result tens of thousands more mother pigs will no longer suffer�prolonged confinement�unable to turn around.

Coles should be applauded for taking such important steps to end some of the worst cruelties of factory farming.

We can really make a difference.

1. Support cruelty-free produce and products.

2. Eat less meat.

One small and simple step towards supporting cruelty-free produce – buy kampung eggs.

And even though petfood contains meat, you can also opt for cruelty-free petfood.
