Campaigns against organisations, industries- or even individuals- are an important part of any social justice movement. But how do we know when we should bring a campaign to an end- or a pause- and how do we go about it? In this episode Mark, Dominic & Ant look at Animal Rising's campaign against the RSPCA Assured scheme as a starting point, before discussing more widely the question of, "when should we let this drop?"For context, the RSPCA Assured scheme is detailed here: https://www.rspcaassured.org.uk/?gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIkcm7xdfZjAMV54qDBx3GGClxEAAYASAAEgJYOvD_BwEAnimal Rising's website can be found here: https://www.animalrising.org/And one of their press releases from the campaign last year can be found here: https://www.animalrising.org/post/rspca-scandalAs ever, we love hearing your views on the topics under discussion (or anything else!) so do drop us your thoughts via enoughofthefalafel@gmail.com*************Enough of the Falafel is a community of people who love keeping on top of the latest news in the world of veganism & animal rights.

Their antagonists are not factory farmers, but other animal groups. And the ASPCA, HSUS, and RSPCA stand accused not of hurting farmers, but of hurting animals, through their work with GAP and RSPCA Assured, which certify animal products as being less cruelly produced. The attacks began last summer when the UK animal rights group Animal Rising released a report and footage showing abuses on RSPCA Assured farms. They've since forced the RSPCA to cancel its 200th year celebrations, plastered portraits of RSPCA patron King Charles, and persuaded the ceremonial president and two vice-presidents of the RSPCA to resign in protest.

Ben Newman has had a colourful past few years, being one of Animal Rising's co-directors and being arrested multiple times for various bits of direct action and disruptive protest. Now, Animal Rising has turned its attention to campaign against the RSPCA, the world's largest animal charity, for running the RSPCA Assured scheme. This has been quite a divisive campaign within the animal advocacy movement, with some, including both co-hosts, having fairly big questions about the effectiveness of this campaign.00:00:00:00 | Intro00:04:55:02 | Direct Action Rescues00:10:01:20 | Mass Arrests Strategy00:13:40:07 | RSPCA Assured00:19:19:10 | End of Animal Farming?00:28:24:12 | RSPCA Scheme Shutdown00:35:19:01 | Public Opinion on RSPCA00:45:41:18 | Slaughterhouse Investigations00:50:24:08 | Social Media Controversy00:55:36:06 | Animal Rising in 202501:02:29:10 | Closing QuestionsIf you enjoy the show, please leave a rating and review us - we would really appreciate it!

Animal Rising has made global headlines with its risk-taking actions including: sending hundreds of protesters to disrupt England's most famous horse race, rescuing lambs from the estate of the King of England and occupying massive dairy factories. Their mission is to reinvent humanity's broken relationship with animals by getting people to understand that it is morally wrong to use, abuse and kill animals for food, fashion, entertainment or experimentation. Often wearing matching pink sweatshirts, Animal Rising members risk arrest and even their lives to confront, in a nonviolent way, people who are participating in animal exploitation. In this interview, UnchainedTV's Jane Velez-Mitchell talks to Animal Rising Co-Director Ben Newman and Animal Rising associate Rose Patterson.

Sky Sports Racing's Josh Apiafi joins Emmet Kennedy to discuss ITV News's attack on horse racing following the tragic deaths of three horses at Cheltenham on Sunday. We question why their report was given such prominence on ITV News and why the BHA, Jockey Club, and ITV Racing were not offered an opportunity to counter arguments presented by the activist group Animal Rising. We examine how the Whip Rules represent virtue signaling that has backfired spectacularly and highlight racing's urgent need for a spokesperson capable of uniting the sport to combat false narratives and disingenuous talking points. Josh shares his thoughts on who might become the new CEO of the BHA and explains why racing desperately needs fresh leadership. We also discuss the new David Power Cup jockeys' championship and look ahead to the Betfair Chase, including a strong tip from Josh.

The humane hoax is alive and well all over the globe and today we are leaning how it is used in the UK. Rose Patterson is the Co-Director and Actions Coordinator for Animal Rising. After getting a masters in Animal Welfare Science, Ethics, and Law and working for World Animal Protection she joined Animal Rising in 2020. She has worked on the strategy for multiple campaigns, designed and coordinated dozens of actions and led large complex projects mobilizing hundreds of people, including the disruption of the Grand National horse race which garnered a great deal of press and most recently the largest investigation into animal farming in UK history targeting RSPCA Assured farms.Rose shares Animal Rising's work exposing humanewashing by the RSPCA and how as Rose says, the RSPCA is failing farmed animals. She also tells the story of Animal Rising's infamous disruption of the Grand National Horse Race in Great Britain that got huge media coverage. Hope and Rose also talk about strategy and the importance of the grassroots in animal advocacy. Resources: Animal RisingSupport this podcast:Compassionate LivingHope for the Animals Podcast

All the hope of a new Government in the UK...dashed before it's even begun, as incoming DEFRA secretary Steve Reed changes his mind on Badger Culls, potentially resulting in the lives of a further 30,000 more badgers being unnecessarily ended.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Ten minutes to speak up for ~4.5 million caged chickens, published by Ben Stevenson on June 24, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum. (You can read this post as a Google Doc. You might find this easier to share with animal-sympathetic non-EAs. Also: I work at Rethink Priorities, but I'm writing in a personal capacity.) A few weeks ago, I shared some suggested responses for a Defra consultation on welfare labelling. I was really pleased to hear that many EAs and animal rights advocates wrote in to support the proposal. I'm now sharing a similar opportunity: ~ten minutes of your time to speak up for ~4.5 million caged chickens. If you want to help, you have less than 48 hours to get this done! What's the public consultation? The Scottish government is running a public consultation on their proposal to ban cages for layer hens. Agriculture is a devolved power so Holyrood have responsibility for Scottish animal welfare. Let's be clear: cage-free chickens have dramatically better lives than caged chickens. Liberating caged chickens alleviates a great deal of suffering.[1] Over 80% of Scottish layer hens are already cage-free. A greater proportion than across the whole UK, this is a testament to hard work from animal welfare campaigners. Nevertheless, a ban still seems really important: Corporate commitments might not last forever. A ban can lock in campaigners' hard-won victories and pre-empt businesses backsliding Corporate commitments and welfare schemes might not always be met or enforced. A recent investigation from Animal Rising revealed that at least one English farm kept chickens in cages despite being RSPCA Assured. We could have greater trust that chickens are truly free from cages if they were banned The pro-animal movement will have another win, which builds political momentum for our cause. The Scottish government notes that Luxembourg and Austria have already banned cages; that Germany, the Czech Republic and Slovakia are phasing them out; and that Australia aims to ban cages by 2036. If Scotland is attentive to other governments' bans, then other governments might pay attention to a Scottish ban 18% of Scottish layer hens are still so many - over a million - birds. None of them deserve to live their whole life condemned to a cage. The government are considering three options: 1. 2030 ban on enriched cage production 2. 2030 ban on installing new cages, and 2034 ban on enriched cage production 3. "Information campaign aimed at consumers to encourage all retailers who have not signed up to the retailer pledge and caterers to commit to stop stocking/selling eggs or egg products from enriched cages by 2034"[2] Option (2) is the default because the government thinks this best balances improving bird welfare and supporting the egg industry. This proposal is what the public consultation is about. I think pursuing (2) rather than (1) is really disappointing. Four more years of cages means up to 4.5 million layer hens will live their lives behind bars.[3] And there are only fifteen farms currently keeping caged layer hens in Scotland; do they really need four more years of warning? An instant ban on installing new cages and a 2030 ban on all enriched cage production seem eminently reasonable to me. How you can help You can access the public consultation here and submit your response by 25 June 2024. You don't have to be Scottish to respond. The consultation is divided into several pages. Only the 'About you' page is necessary.

Send us a Text Message.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.

Peter Egan, Andrew Knight, The Animal Justice Project & Animal Rising are united in one cause at the moment: To bring down the RSPCA Assured Scheme, where certain animal products are deemed as being 'produced' in a n acceptable way. Does the scheme protect animal welfare, or does it effectively advocate for animals being exploited?Ant, Paul & Julie discuss just the one big news story this week, but go in deep- Is this the beginning of the end for RSPCA Assured? Or does society 'need' the idea of ethical meat for a bit longer, before abolition becomes a more acceptable concept for the masses?****************Enough of the Falafel is a community of people who love keeping on top of the latest news in the world of veganism & animal rights.

More than  16,000 animals were affected. The government is promising to investigate.MBR Acres in Cambridgeshire is a puppy farm, where beagles are bred to be tested on with toxic chemicals.Campaigners say the practice is cruel, outdated and unnecessary. Proponents argue animal tests are essential for the advancement of science.Outside MBR Acres is an encampment of protesters who have lived at the site for almost three years.

✨Episodio 125 del podcast VEGANISMO Y SOSTENIBILIDAD de Infovegana✨ ️ En este episodio hablamos de: ►Se acaban, por fin, los circos con animales en España. Después de la moratoria de 6 meses que ofrecía la nueva Ley de Bienestar Animal a los circos españoles, desde el pasado 29 de marzo se prohíben los espectáculos con animales silvestres. Os explicamos el caso de como transicionó un circo hacia un nuevo modelo sin animales, qué pasa con y donde acaban los animales de los circos y las excepciones a las que se podrían acoger los circos para continuar utilizando animales. ►¿Son eficaces las acciones de activismo disruptivas?

Animal Rising has made global headlines with its risk-taking actions including: sending hundreds of protesters to disrupt England's most famous horse race, rescuing lambs from the estate of the King of England and occupying massive dairy factories. Their mission is to reinvent humanity's broken relationship with animals by getting people to understand that it is morally wrong to use, abuse and kill animals for food, fashion, entertainment or experimentation. Often wearing matching pink sweatshirts, Animal Rising members risk arrest and even their lives to confront, in a nonviolent way, people who are participating in animal exploitation. In this interview, UnchainedTV's Jane Velez-Mitchell talks to Animal Rising Co-Director Ben Newman and Animal Rising associate Rose Patterson.

Rose Patterson is part of Animal Rising, which used to be called Animal Rebellion, that is until April. And since April, which is only a few months ago, they've exploded - they are everywhere.  They have disrupted horse races and greyhound races, they've broken into labs, they've stolen beagles, they've stolen King Charles's lambs. And they've received a huge amount of press because of their actions. Much of that press has been TV time, which means that conversations about how we treat animals, not just in the ways mentioned above but in our food system, are taking place all over the media in the UK. Animal Rising is changing the game for what activism looks like. Rose and I met a couple of weeks ago in London, where she lives. She and another Animal Rising acticist had just tried and failed to go on a trip to the US.

On the 15th April 2023 the Grand National, an annual horse racing event, took place at Aintree Racecourse in the UK. Animal Rising attracted a lot of media attention for storming the tracks to prevent these races from happening. I recently spoke with Dan, the cofounder of Animal Rising, to find out why he thinks this is the most important thing to be doing with his time, why a British tradition should be stopped, and whether radical activism is the answer.We also talk about the environmental and ecological collapse of the home we live in, how the answer to the worlds problems lies behind our dietary choices, and how changing a lot of peoples minds is easier than changing the mind of just one person.Thanks to Dan, and to Animal Rising, and thanks for listening."We've created a national conversation that's led to millions of people reassessing whether they agree with horse racing for the first time in their lives."

Animal Rights Protestors are being blamed for the death of a racehorse at the Grand National this weekend after they forced a delay which - trainers say - agitated the animals. Animal Rising - the protestors - say: Don't blame us - horses are dying on racecourses; with or without the delays. But they're delighted we're now having a conversation about animal cruelty, sport and what happens to thoroughbred horses if racing stops. We speak to Ed Chamberlin who saw it all unfold with his own eyes - as the head of ITV's horse racing presenting team.And to Claudia Penna-Rojas from Animal Rising. We also discuss Rishi Sunak's finances - he's under investigation by the parliamentary standards commissioner. And we ask if we should all be better at maths - with maths lover and teacher Bobby Seagull.You can watch our episodes in full at https://global-player.onelink.me/Br0x/VideosThe News Agents is a Global Player Original and a Persephonica Production.
