steve_b_wales Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 I've never liked them and have never given a penny to them. I do feel sorry for the inspectors who chase up cruelty cases. Most are caring, animal loving people, who take pride in their work. When animals are rescued by them, and 'handed over' to their 'superiors', what happens to that animal is beyond their control or say.

mr lee Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 Sadly you don't have to dig too deep to find plenty of RSPCA atrocities where they have done similar and treated people like criminals where they have impounded animals.

bicykillgaz Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 i'm no fan of the rspca or there associates! to cut a very long story my dog came from an rspca accreditted rescue centre just over a year ago and my wife had too sign a piece of paper to say he was leaving in perfect health even though he was heavily sedated as he was getting taken to be put down within half an hour, had a torn cruxiate ligament, cuts and bald patches all over him, mange was dehydrated and almost dead. the other dogs wasn't much better but he was the worst (apart from the bitch next to him who was bald from the waist up due to mange and had puss and bleeds all over her but she wasn't going to be put to sleep so he won), my mother in-law who who went with my wife in her younger days worked at jerry green resce centre and several others down south including a quarrenteen kennels and said she'd never seen such a poorly looking bunch of dogs and such a poorly maintained kennels and was horrified with the staffs attitude. there was a big sign behind the desk saying 'all dogs are innoculated upon entry' so my wife asked when he would need his booster and was told he hadn't been done because the woman who does them didn't like him! so the girl behind the counter went and grabbed the stuff and did him there and then even though he was in such poor health, we took him straight to the vet who asked "why the bloody hell did you buy a dog in that state" and told us if he made the night he'd be suprised and expect the worst and try not to get too attached as he was a very ill dog! anyway he weighed 11kg when we got him and now he weighs 22kg he's cost us a small fortune but has turned out to be the most loving, nice natured well balanced, and well behaved dog you could wish for no thanks to them and to top it all off the centre has just won an award for how good they are yet i've spoken to plenty of other who've had similar experiences anyway here is at christmas bless him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Bb Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 A long story cut short. Well done you! Good to see an obviously happy dog rescued the way you did. My personal gripe about the RSPCA is that they point blank refused to let us home a collie saying that we needed specialist training. When I pointed out that our last dog had been a collie, rescued from them some ten years earlier, this cut no ice whatsoever. We went elsewhere (Blue Cross) and found a much more deserving dog who is now happy and confident in himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bicykillgaz Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 and here is some a 2-3 weeks after we got him so he'd actually put on a bit of meat by then as he was having 4 small meals a day, the first picture is a little unclear as he was eating but you can still make out the vertibrae and ribs, i'd never seen anything like it his hip bones was poking out the skin looked like it was just draped over bone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We went elsewhere (Blue Cross) and found a much more deserving dog who is now happy and confident in himself. i was refused a dog by a snotty cow at jerry greens, we'd taken a dog for a walk round there paddock to see what he was like on the lead and everything and decided we liked him he was a bull terrier cross staffy so we walked him to the office to fill out the paperwork, but was refused because i didn't have a 6ft fence around my property and when i asked why it needed to be 6ft she said he'd cleared a 6ft fence before to get at a cat, when i asked why the fence only needed to be 6ft then if he could clear it she snapped 'it just does'. he had the last laugh though as he pee'd up the office door in protest i know these places have to think about the animals best intrests but some times its as if they don't want them re-homing, shame really as its the dogs who suffer, glad you got one though mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've met a few RSPCA inspectors on the estate I shoot, and on the whole they seem caring people. I can't vouch for the bureaucrats though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GW80 Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 They're are not all they crack on to be, a few years back my sister had a cocker that used to love bolting off and hunting for himself for a few days, he was picked up and taken to uspca kennels near by and i had to go to collect him at the time i had a BASC sticker on my rear window, the lady who i have to say was delightful on the phone saw it and her whole attitude changed and made everything as awkward as possible for me collecting the dog from them!! I had Licence,KC papers everything with me but she was determined to make us sweat it out just cause i like to shoot game!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyr8 Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 i support a g.s.d charity and some of the stories they have printed about the rspca are unbelievable.there scots counterparts are no better.they let a mare and her foal starve to death in a mudy field.they had visited the mare a few days before and they were in a sorry state according to witnesses. a few days later the foal was found dead and the mare had to be shot.an autopsy revealed there stomaches contained mud,thats what they were trying to eat.

rodp Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 In these days of virtually instant widespread communication there must surely be a way of bringing them down, and quickly ? If a website or something on one of these facebook sort of sites was started (and the daily papers notified) would it not grow rapidly? (I don't really do these sort of sites so wouldn't know for sure) If it got big enough the government / commission would have to listen. Be very interesting to know what salaries are paid to some of the RSPCA staff, I wouldn't mind betting there's quite a few very, very well paid folk hidden away.

Chris Bb Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 Be very interesting to know what salaries are paid to some of the RSPCA staff, I wouldn't mind betting there's quite a few very, very well paid folk hidden away. I'm not just aiming at RSPCA; there's lots of charities that we all give to occasionally or regularly, as we can afford, that have high priced bosses. The excuse is, "if we didn't offer such salaries they'd go elsewhere." Excuse me, this is charity, not big business. Bosses should be retired businessmen, doing it for charity and , as such, at a suitably reduced remuneration. I work, at a senior level, for a local charity. I receive absolutely nothing in payment, indeed I have to pay £15 to belong to the charity to cover insurance. I am still employed thus cannot give as much time as I would like. Regardless, the charity is appreciative of what time/expertise I can offer and I enjoy all my time spent working with like minded volunteers.
