RSPCA Finally Removes Meat Recipes From Its Website
The change comes just one day after a damning exposé by Animal Rising
Yesterday I wrote about a damning exposé of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals following a massive investigation by Animal Rising.
If you missed it, you can read the full article here but to recap, the investigators visited numerous RSPCA Assured farms around England and Scotland.
At every farm they visited, they found horrifying factory farm conditions. They filmed footage of dead and dying animals, sick animals, animals living in dark, dirty overcrowded conditions, some with terrible rotting sores or with eyes and other body parts missing.
The RSPCA Assured scheme is supposed to provide a kind of ‘Gold Standard’ of animal welfare, reassuring shoppers at some of the UK’s top supermarkets that the animal flesh, eggs and dairy products sold there with the RSPCA’s stamp of approval have been raised in the highest possible welfare conditions.
Animal Rising’s investigation proved beyond any doubt that animal agriculture is an industry of extreme suffering, abuse and tragedy. If these farms are the best of the best, then most of us can only imagine what the rest must be like.
