RSPCA sends compliments to the chefs

British chefs Jamie Oliver and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall were honored by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals for their work in reforming the manner in which chickens and other food animals are treated.

Oliver has had a number of food programs and television appearances in the United States while Fearnley-Whittingstall may be more recognized from his appearances on Gordon Ramsay’s “The F Word.” Both Oliver and Fearnley-Whittingstall have produced documentaries about “factory farming.”

The kitchen at the home has been completely renovated.
