Who We Are
We're friends and allies of the RSPCA who have come together to sign an open letter that urges them to stand up for all animals in their 200th year. We're asking them to drop the RSPCA Assured scheme and promote a move away from farming animals, towards a kinder, more sustainable plant-based future that benefits all of us…
