I notice a severe lack of animal"friendly" (or as animalfriendly as it can get) meats and the like in Finland. It's probably just me, I hope, but I'd really like to be able to buy, structurally, meat/eggs/milk/cheese and so on from animals that have not been criminally mistreated their entire life. I do know that even the "friendlier" products are not superfriendly, but for personal reasons a vegetarian diet is not a option.
I'm willing to pay more, of course, but right now I don't even know where to begin. In prisma just now I found 1 kind of chicken breast that was "biological", but the pricetag was legit double that of the non-bio version. I paid over 20 euro for 700g of chicken. Phew. But I could not find anything friendly-ish in the porc section, for example.
I know Lidl carries quite some biological products that are fairly priced, but to be honest, biological usually just means the animals get biological food, but their living circumstances are still absolutely useless.
Who can help me with indicating what tags, marks, brands, icons or any helpful info that could be located on products that can tell me more about what kind of life the animals have had? I know there are (European) guidelines and even laws for the treatment of animals, so there must be something? Also, if there are any special shops I could go to, where I have a selection of animal products that are as "friendly" as it gets, let me know. I live in Espoo and am willing to drive serious distances for it.
I know it's not a perfect world yet for animal rearing etc, but we gotta start somewhere, and I just want to support the "friendlier" aspects so hopefully, animals get treated better and better in the future.
Thank you for your help. And just to reiterate in case some knight missed the part about vegetarian food: I'm really not interested in a discussion about vegetarian diets.
