How you can help
The intensive pig farming industry justifies its practices through demand for their products. If consumers leave intensively farmed pig products on supermarket shelves and opt for free range pig products, pig farmers will be forced to change their practices.
· Buy only organic or free range pig products. Gooralie Free Range Pork is Queensland’s first RSPCA-accredited pork producer. If unavailable, ask your supermarket or butcher to stock this range of pork; they can contact Gooralie for more information at gooralie@primus.com.au. Click here for stockists of Gooralie Free Range Pork.
· Pork products that are not labelled free range or organic have been produced by intensive pig farming methods.
· Even if pork is labelled “free range”, if it does not have the RSPCA logo, there is no guarantee that the animal welfare conditions meet meets the standards set by the RSPCA.
· Encourage friends, family and colleagues to choose free range products.
