Anna Hill hears concerns about meat from the offspring of clones being sold without labels

Presented by Caz Graham and produced by Melvin Rickarby.

Animal welfare groups say they're apalled that meat and milk from the offspring of cloned animals can be sold in shops without being labelled as such. The Food Standards Agency board says there are no health risk to humans but animal welfare groups say consumers will be unknowingly supporting cloning which they say is cruel and causes suffering to animals. 

The RSPCA tell Anna about their planned emergency rescue of 4000 sheep standed on the moorlands of Northumberland - made inaccessible in waist-deep snow - without access to food. 

Presented by Anna Hill and produced by Anne-Marie Bullock.
