It’s pretty clear that the certification fee paid by the English meat producers is in reality a fee to avoid oversight. Lots of false fronts in the animal rights and environmental activism businesses!

I’m convinced that the ONLY effective way to make a real impact is to show the public the brutality that exists in the factory farming and animal rescue business. At the Peninsula Humane Society in Northern California our people actually took out newspaper advertisements and showed barrels of euthanized animals. Given a then terrific staff and the support of the likes of Grace Slick and a very committed elected official and one particular lady who was a public prosecutor…PHS rocked the animal rights world. This is verifiably true and should and can be expanded upon! Jim Gatten
But what is not complicated is the melding together of the animal rights,environmental and climate change businesses. And make no mistake that in the overall they have become very big businesses which are often confused by donors as being related. Somewhere between the free t-shirts and enormous salaries the progress in,I believe, animal rights is being dramatically slowed.
The solution is not real clear to me but a good starting point is to look at the revenue and executive salaries of big players in just animal rights/rescue/humane businesses.
Over the years I have seen first hand jealously,”not invented here” and many other things get in the way of potentially big strides in the movement.
For now these comments should be the basis of an on-line conversation. If not I have been involved,benevolent and frustrated for years. So, I won't surprised.

It's complicated, but the incentives by the fees are not helpful. We need better approaches.
You said it is complicated…it is!
