Successful Protest: Over 100 Activists Demand RSPCA to Uphold True Animal Rights!
On July 15th, 2024, a crucial protest took place in Horsham, Surrey, where over 100 passionate activists gathered to challenge the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA). This pivotal event aimed to push for significant changes in the RSPCA’s approach towards animal welfare, urging them to uphold true animal rights. The turnout was impressive, with advocates united in their mission to amplify the voices of animals who cannot speak for themselves.
Our Protest Goals
Drop RSPCA ASSURED Labels
The protest called for the elimination of the RSPCA ASSURED label, which, despite being a mark of higher welfare standards, still permits the exploitation and suffering of animals. Activists demanded that the RSPCA take a firm stand against the commodification of animal lives, recognizing that no level of exploitation is acceptable.
Lobby to Extend Laws to Include Animal Rights
Protesters urged the RSPCA to leverage its influence to lobby for the extension of animal welfare laws to truly encompass animal rights. This means recognizing animals as sentient beings deserving of protection from all forms of cruelty and exploitation, not just ensuring minimal welfare standards.
Promote Boycotting All Animal Industries as Cruel and Unnecessary
The RSPCA was called upon to actively promote the boycott of industries that profit from animal exploitation. Whether it’s factory farming, fur production, or animal testing, these industries are inherently cruel and unnecessary. Advocates argued that by promoting a boycott, the RSPCA could lead the way in shifting public perception and consumer habits towards more compassionate choices.
Declare RSPCA 100% Vegan
A bold demand was made for the RSPCA to declare itself 100% vegan. This move would align the organization’s practices with its mission to prevent cruelty to animals. By adopting a vegan stance, the RSPCA would set a powerful example and pave the way for a future where animals are respected and protected.
Why This Protest Mattered
The protest underscored the need for the RSPCA to evolve and truly embrace animal rights. As the world becomes increasingly aware of the ethical, environmental, and health implications of animal exploitation, the RSPCA has a responsibility to lead by example and advocate for a world where animals are not viewed as commodities but as beings with intrinsic rights.
