British satire magazine examines RSPCA
Jump to Comments
I couldn’t resist sharing this new piece from the satirical magazine Private Eye. The publication is well known for lampooning powerful figures and organisations within the British establishment. Here, they take to task - and not for the first time - the animal welfare charity the RSPCA. They mention the double standards that came into evidence after the killing of Gangotri, on the Hare Krishna farm in Hertfordshire, England.

Its a bit like in the ‘cruelty free’ cosmetic world, people now complain that the Body Shop is sold out and try to undo what Anita Roddick did - but the main thing is that she put cruelty free cosmetics on the map. The RSPCA may not be perfect but they have done a lot of good and continue to do a lot of good and now, as they are so hugely recognized they will of course be picked on for the times they make a mistake. I believe they have made, and will continue to make, errors, but I personally would never like to fight an organization who has done so much for animals in this country.
Tired of picking holes in those who do more good than wrong. There are some amazing people who have dedicated their life to trying to do good within the RSPCA same as there are in ISKCON. We should be trying to work together not fighting each other…
