Animal Rights

This makes for a good example to show that there are organisations here that act as a watchdog to ensure that the welfare of animals are not sidelined. ACRES and SPCA are two such major NGOs (Non-Governmental Organisations). The govt organisation that deals with animal rights is AVA (Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority). These organisations make sure that big organisations (like RWS) toe the line by using the media to report on any wrongdoings (note role of media here as watchdog). In today's world of social media, any big organisation (including govt) worth its salt will act fast to protect their own image and reputation.
