Watch George Monbiot in 'Seaspiracy' on Netflix:
Today (31 March 2021), Monbiot labelled the RSPCA as "the worst of all" in a Tweet:
"The worst of all is the RSPCA" says George Monbiot @rspcaassured @RSPCA_PATeam @RSPCAChris @RSPCA_Frontline @RSPCA_LabAnimal @rspca https://t.co/OJT8Atz7VP

Here's George Monbiot's article in The Guardian in September 2018:
If the RSPCA was being paid by seals surely you would protect them? The fact is that salmon farmers pay the RSPCA almost £1 million for certification https://t.co/NUMZFaPYed Shame on the RSPCA – rest assured that buying RSPCA Assured salmon means putting seals in the firing line pic.twitter.com/XMHH77wHpR

From the shocking photographic and video evidence of welfare abuse on @rspcaassured salmon farms it does not appear that the RSPCA's time was well spent does it?! https://t.co/jh8KXhe9mM @RSPCAChris @ChrisGPackham @onekindtweet @ciwf @Animallawyersuk @philip_ciwf @salmon_scottish pic.twitter.com/Ak7Q6b99pB

Fair to say RSPCA tried to more tightly regulate animal welfare standards in salmon farming through its RSPCA Assured programme & this significantly reduced seal shooting but I agree it should have opposed all killing from start. We now hope to see end of seal shooting for good

If the RSPCA failed then why are they still coining in over £500K per year from certifying Scottish farmed salmon? Surely the RSPCA should ditch the welfare nightmare of salmon farming accredition whilst they still have some kind of reputation left? https://t.co/43qBXvAjZC

Could someone tell @RSPCA_official to stop “sealing” the fate of marine mammals around salmon farms?
Their fake labelling scheme is a scam.
Shooting seals is now illegal. But subjecting them to >200dB noise is illegal too and that still goes on.

Earlier this month, Scottish Salmon Watch exposed the slaughter of seals at salmon farms across Scotland (including salmon farms certified via RSPCA Assured):

If you're looking for the RSPCA 's position on killing seals by salmon farms it's recently been deleted.
But thanks to Google there's a cache of the RSPCA's policy condoning the killing of seals by RSPCA Assured salmon farms online here
