Ep 144 The RSPCA Assurance Scheme EXPOSED! Vegan Hot Dog Scandal - A New Vegan Recipe!

Hey Pickles!We hope this episode finds you well.Fair warning: There is talk of animal abuse in this episode.Our Main Topic this week is the incredible investigation done by Animal Rising into the fraud that is the RSPCA Assurance Scheme. The RSPCA is supposed to be looking out for the welfare of animals, but has fraudulently approved the conditions on many farms in England and Scotland. Through the brave investigative work of Animal Rising, these farms have been found to have deplorable conditions. They found sick and dying animals, animals in overcrowded and confined conditions, and a multitude of severe infractions to the very laws that the RSPCA is supposed to be upholding.We urge you to read their thorough report here: https://www.animalrising.org/_files/ugd/80f7b1_312aaf59f84e462fa13ae8d355c2cf02.pdfWatch their video on the investigation here:  https://youtu.be/OfM5VRMl7wk?si=ugxeciX0vfLisytvOur Noteworthy segment is a much lighter subject.
