West Australian residents will now have access to more RSPCA Approved pork with Linley Valley’s range of Free Range Pork and Plantaganet Pork now proudly bearing the RSPCA’s Paw of Approval.
The pigs are raised in Western Australia on farms that meet the RSPCA’s high animal welfare standards.
“We are very excited about this relationship with Linley Valley and Plantaganet Pork and their RSPCA Approved products. It’s great that we can be providing consumers with the higher welfare pork products that we know they are looking for,” said RSPCA Australia CEO Heather Neil.
“The key objective of the RSPCA Approved Farming Scheme is to improve the lives of farm animals by moving away from conventional farming systems to production environments that better meet the animal’s welfare and behavioural needs.
“As a result of Linley Valley’s and Plantaganet Pork desire to meet high animal welfare standards, and the RSPCA’s direct work with pig farmers – hundreds of thousands of pigs will have a much better life.
“Sows on RSPCA Approved farms are not kept in stalls and have the freedom to forage, root and wallow in the mud and exhibit their full range of natural behaviours.”
Linley Valley and Plantaganet Pork are proud to have their high standards for these farms approved under The RSPCA Approved Farming Scheme.
“We are very pleased to have our Linley Valley Free Range Pork approved by the RSPCA. It’s great to have our brand recognised as part of a scheme that sets the bar high on animal welfare,” said Ron Penn, General Manager, Linley Valley Pork Linley Valley.
“It is a real credit to our farmers to achieve this and gives us confidence to invest in the future and grow the business further,” said David Plant, General Manager, Plantaganet Pork.
