Why an Animal Welfare Committee?
Ever walked into the co-op with the assumption that all personal care items and household goods we carry are not tested on animals?
Ever assumed our meat/dairy conforms to specific care standards across the board?
Surprised to find out that's not always the case?
Come on down to the General Meeting and vote for us!
• What is the mission of the group?
Research and education to share with PSFC members on products as they relate to animals or animal welfare issues as they relate PSFC membership, focus is on researching animal-tested products and animal care standards on “food animals” an products. Examples – delineating products still tested animals and researching alternatives working with coordinators and their distributor information; overview of the different kinds of certification (animal testing/food animals), labels, and what that means; animal-related vendor profiles; films relevant to animal product issues, etc.
• Does the committee have specific goals, and if so what are they?
Education, clarifying labeling, researching different labeling claims and member concerns regarding vendors.
• Does the committee have a goal or final product (for example a report on an issue) in mind?
Clarifying which PSFC products are tested on animals and meat and dairy fact sheets regarding various certification labeling.
