On 9 June, direct action group Animal Rising published a damning investigation into the RSPCA Assured scheme, which is supposed to ensure that every Assured ‘hatchery, farm, haulier and abattoir’ has been confirmed to have met the RSPCA’s ‘higher farm animal welfare standards’.
Footage released by Animal Rising from 40 farms shows baby chickens dying in factory farms and pigs left dead for days in filthy sheds. More info: www.animalrising.org
