NSPCA het klag vs State

THE National Council of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (NSPCA) is planning to lay criminal charges against state-owned Daybreak Foods after the culling of over 350 000 chickens.

On Wednesday, 30 April, the NSPCA was alerted to the dire situation of 200 000 birds at a Daybreak contract grower who was without feed for days, resulting in mass cannibalism.

On 1 May, Daybreak Foods corresponded with the NSPCA and revealed they were no longer able to supply feed and authorised the organisation to dispose of the chickens.
