BeckyBoo Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Eggcellent. I've sent mine already. CIWF strikes again for the welfare of the famed animal Mrs B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 I thought I'd have a look at the CIWF from the link you posted in the other thread Mrs B and saw the rotten egg award! And I can't think of a more deserving recipient of the award! I've sent a card and mailed it to everyone of my friends to do the same.

Charlottechicken Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Thanks for the link Poet. Pity we can't send the rotton egg e-card to Morrisons, Somerfield and Asda too, as they appear to be even worse than Tesco at committing to good animal welfare Can anyone confirm that the best address to write to sir Terry Leahy is the Cheshunt one, I will do so (Don't want to waste a stamp ). I believe I am one of the low waged that Tesco mistakenly believe should be eating their water filled pap they call meat, that is in the 'Value' range HIDDEN EGG ALERT (with apologies for thread hijacking ) I have contacted CIWF about Ginsters (not sure they will be interested), who use a glaze on some of their products which contains, as they put it after I contacted them, a blend of egg and edible oil which is why we have to state it on the pack. Here at Ginsters we use both Free range egg and more conventionally reared egg Who on earth would mix free range egg with battery egg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mutrix Farmers Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Are any of the big supermarkets interested in animal welfare? I have a choice of 5 locally and would prefer to use the one that cared the most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 The league table published in the press last week showed M&S to be top, closely followed by Waitrose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaylis1980 Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 did everyone else get this awful bog standard reply nonsence from tesco today?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 we try to use waitrose as they deliver and are not as pricey as M&S. the co-op are good too, a lot of their own brand products (if not all?) contain free range egg. I don't think they sell battery eggs but not sure. Their free range meat selection is poor but they're great for things like ice cream, pasta, ready meals, cakes and biscuits as they've all got free range eggs in them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeckyBoo Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 I didn't get a reply either. If you join CIWF they send you a pocket sized guide to the supermarkets, which are best at what (they're all pretty rubbish when it comes to our four footed friends) and M&S are the best really, but just SO expensive that it's not a viable option for most of us Mrs B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 I don't think they sell battery eggs but not sure. You're right, they don't sell them at all now . (At least not in my local Co-op, presumably they're the same nationwide.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 I don't think they sell battery eggs but not sure. You're right, they don't sell them at all now . (At least not in my local Co-op, presumably they're the same nationwide.) I think it is nationwide ANH. And although some of their products on the shelves at the moment still contain battery egg, they are currently in the process of changing every co-op own brand product over to free range. Also all their fresh chicken is now Freedom Food standard, including the chicken pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
