The British Hen Welfare Trust

We received approval from the British Hen Welfare Trust in recognition of our strong stance against the use of caged hens. From our own experience we know that happy hens produce better quality eggs and that is why the free-range chickens on Penlan Farm enjoy the highest possible standards of care and nutrition. Our pampered hens produce lovely tasty eggs which we use in our Penlan Farm Eggs, Rice and Vegetables for dogs and also sell to the local community.

Compassion in World Farming

Whenever possible we use ethically sourced and sustainable ingredients in our food. For instance, any chicken we use will not be from caged hens and the meat in our Penlan Farm range comes from free-range organic animals. Compassion in World Farming peacefully campaigns to end all cruel farming practices and to improve the welfare of farm animals around the world. The chickens and cattle we keep on Penlan Farm are kept to the very highest standards and we would like to see all farm animals enjoying the same quality of life. Burns is a corporate sponsor of Compassion in World Farming.

make Mine Chocolate! The Voice for Rabbit Welfare

The key aims of this non profit making group are to change the way rabbits are perceived and cared for. There are over 35,000 rabbits in rescue each year and they have become the UK’s third most popular pet and sadly the number one abused pet in the UK. One key element of this is to stop the impulse purchase of rabbits through education and raising awareness of welfare issues.
