NSPCA files criminal charges over Daybreak Farms’ million-bird animal welfare crisis

# The National Council of SPCAs has filed criminal charges against Daybreak Farms’ board following a mass animal welfare disaster where over one million birds suffered due to extreme neglect. A High Court ruling confirmed Daybreak’s gross mismanagement and compelled it to stop inhumane practices. The NSPCA uncovered widespread suffering, calling it a grave moral failure. While winning the legal battle, the NSPCA warns of ongoing financial strain, as Daybreak has entered voluntary business rescue, complicating cost recovery.
