Queen guitarist Sir Brian May has resigned as Vice President of the RSPCA, citing "appalling" animal welfare standards in farms under the RSPCA Assured scheme. He criticized the organization's inadequate response to allegations of overcrowding, poor hygiene, and abuse. May called for the scheme's dismantling, stating he could not remain a figurehead while these issues persist. The RSPCA has initiated an independent review of the scheme in light of these concerns.
