TV presenter Chris Packham and 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.
Mr Packham said on social media it was with "enormous sadness" he resigned from his position at the animal rights charity.
Ms Lucas echoed his comments, saying she left a role of more than 15 years with "huge sadness" but the charity’s Assured Schemes risked "legitimising cruelty".
