News report from the ABC Lateline program about the welfare of animals farmed for food in Australia and the deceptive labelling of animal products. Descriptions such as “Free Range”, “Organic”, “Environmental”, and “Farm Fresh” are used to attract consumer’s eyes and allay concerns about animal welfare. But many of these labels are stuck on food with little scrutiny, leaving consumers to make decisions based on trust. There are big profits to be made on labelling lies and until now those engaged in misleading and deceptive conduct have faced absolutely no punishment. And a warning this story contains disturbing images.
