As a Christian I am totally appalled by the accepted Principal by UK Law of Factory Farming particularly of Chicken , Pig and now Beef .which are financed heavily by Big American/South American Business . The Bucolic image of Country life is not a reality in UK although it is still promoted as a true image by popular TV and a daily Radio 4 program. From field to Fork has proved to be too great a distance for Public connection to the facts. I was a Retail Textile Buyer for a large Supermarket/Store and the principal still remains that the goods ordered in that Retailers name are the Retailers responsibility.Why is there not a wide spread outcry about selling Cruelty? (Surveys have shown that Marks & Spencers and Waitrose are exempt from my remarks) Most Businesses have Modern Slavery Statements .is this not an indicator for those Retailers selling meat to have an Animal Welfare Declaration of a similar nature . I note the ruling Party in Parliament November 2020 defeated by 18 votes an attempt by Caroline Lucas to recognise Farmed Animals as Sentient Beings . I would like to know where the Quaker heart is on these matters ? Thank you.
