The National Farmers Union (NFU) has accused the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) of a perverse decision in failing to uphold complaints about animal welfare campaigner PETA's posters against meat. It plans to lodge a request for an independent review.
PETA's posters claimed that "feeding kids meat is child abuse". This was misleading and irresponsible, said the NFU. "We cannot accept this ruling, both because it is plainly perverse and mistaken and also because of the precedent it could set for other fringe organisations who might want to frighten the public into supporting their cause."
