SCIENCE GROUP REVIEW 2014 10
The RSPCA is working to improve the welfare
of as many farm animals as possible, at every
stage of their lives. Hundreds of millions of
animals are farmed in the UK each year, the
majority of which are reared, transported and
slaughtered/killed in ways that we believe do
not meet their behavioural and physical needs,
although legally permitted.
The farm animals team works to achieve
positive changes in practices and attitude in
all sectors of the food chain, including via
encouraging application of the RSPCA welfare
standards for farm animals.
