Chris Packham tells LBC the RSPCA is 'propping up the meat and dairy industry' as he quits animal charity

TV presenter Chris Packham has told LBC's Matthew Wright that the RSPCA is "essentially propping up the meat and dairy industry", which spurred his resignation from the animal-welfare charity. Yesterday it was revealed that Packham, alongside former Green Party leader Caroline Lucas, have stepped down from their roles as president and vice-president of the RSPCA, following allegations of animal cruelty at the charity's approved abattoirs.

"He went on to say that he was unable to sleep after watching the footage from Animal Rising, and that what they were doing was "clearly criminal" and "illegal". "The last straw...was the footage in the abattoirs...I need to put an end to that sort of treatment," he said. "One of the things we were seeking to do was to ask the RSPCA to withdraw from that scheme...and actively campaign to shut that industry down, on the basis of poor welfare.
