Name withheld Fengxian Shame the article fails to mention that Animal Aid do UNDERCOVER investigations, you know, where things aren't cleaned up for ANNOUNCED inspections by red lion and RSPCA. I'm more inclined to believe Animal Aid who don't announce any of their inspections until they have found the evidence they need of cruelty. Than the RSPCA who regularly are shown up in the undercover investigations by many groups to be incompetent and unethical. Most of their 'Freedom Food' farms have been shown to be far from what the 'Freedom Food' label suggests. RSPCA are an animal welfare charity, and a poor one at that who operate a kill-centre policy where healthy animals are put down if they do not find a home. Animal Aid is a welfare and rights charity who actually do care about the animals. So no, it is not RSPCA 1 - Animal Aid - 0. It is a RSPCA always announce visits, Animal Aid don't. If RSPCA actually used common sense and went undercover, they would not be seeing the tidy version of these farms, but the true reality when prying eyes are not about. Name withheld DontFollowTheSheep 7:12 PM on 14/10/2012 I have seen the pictures from Sunny Hill farm that were passed to Animal Aid. Whilst Sunny Hill's I don't find 'shocking' compared to many other pictures from 'winning' farms, they are certainly worrying. If these are supposedly the best conditions that hens are kept in and that farms win awards for then this industry is in a mess. The photos show chickens densely packed with little or no free space, no perches (except using their own food trays and machinery) and the floor is a metal mesh which most of the birds are forced to sit on. Take a look at the images yourself on the Animal Aid website and form your own opinion; would you want to eat chicken knowing that these conditions are the best they have and that other farms by implication will be worse? The shocking thing for me is to imagine the poorer conditions that chickens are suffering in the farms that don't win awards.
