Good on them. I just read the article and checked out The RSPCA’s Wiki. It’s neat that an animal welfare organization is almost 200 years old. It sounds like they are involved in many if not all non-human animal sectors (e.g., domestic pets, ‘livestock’).

It sounds like the organization and/or some of the higher-ups (not the two who resigned) have sort of lost their way. The key issue is that The RSPCA runs a scheme where they inspect non-human animal agriculture facilities and accredit them as having ‘lesser cruelty’ or something to that effect; however this scheme has become eyewash. Non-tolerable - per the scheme - animal abuses are being documented on accredited farms and the RSPCA is turning a blind eye. That’s why these two resigned - they spoke out about this and still nothing was being done.

One thing this makes me think of is that maybe vegan organizations function best when they specialize in a particular niche. I can foresee issues coming up when the same organization handling reports of people abusing dogs and offering free spay and neuter clinics also runs campaigns about reducing meat consumption or inspects non-human animal agriculture facilities. I know in Canada, vegan organizations must abstain from legal activism/advocacy to retain their status as a charity. Diversification might make sense. Ramble over

I wonder if we could gather a list of different vegan organizations and what they do. Maybe crowdsource ideas in a post, tidy them up, and publish them in a stickied post. I could speak to Animal Justice (Canadian, legal), Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM; US, medical/health), Faunalytics (research, data, policy), The Vegan Society (UK, research, policy, and makers of a great vegan multivitamin)
