four-wheel-drive Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 A foxhunt has been found guilty of killing three foxes and fined I think they said about £20.000 with costs but it cost the RSPCA over £300.000 to bring the case even the judge said that he doubted that people giving money to them would be happy with them waisting there money in this way I must add that I have my doubts about the RSPCA but having said that they do do some good work for sick and neglected animals.

They are becoming a very dangerous organisation. I dont think they do very much for sick or neglected animals any more, I phoned up to report some neglect donkeys and ponies, they refused to do anything until I pushed them and then they spent a silly amount of time trying to convince me to give them money.

Dirty Harry Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 It cost the RSPCA £326,980.23 and the hunt/hunters were had to pay £19,500 towards their costs. How many charity tins would it take to make up the £307,480.23? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_7 Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 we heard of someone neglecting there ferrets, we rang rspca and they dont come out for ferrets, yet if it was a cat they would, as someone that owns ferrets and has done for a while i didnt agree with them, i thought they was there to protect animals wether a parrot, a horse or a guinea pig... guess i was wrong so no money from me sod em... all the best steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomov Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 (edited) It cost the RSPCA £326,980.23 and the hunt/hunters were had to pay £19,500 towards their costs. How many charity tins would it take to make up the £307,480.23? It cost the taxpayer circa £30,000 on top of that for the 40 summonses that the RSPCA tried to bring against the Heythrop that were dismissed. Good use of money? Driven by concerns for welfare or driving a political agenda? Fairly clear I think. Edited December 18, 2012 by tomov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many charity tins would it take to make up the £307,480.23? thats one house they have had from someone in their will, thats what the money grabbing ******** are after these days. From what I read the huntsmen had no option than plead guilty or they ran the risk of RSPCA costs being awarded against them and the cost of defending would have been too high. Thats not justice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 I don't know of this story but even if half of it is true the it is yet again a kick in the nuts for the RSPCA. My opinion of them is that they are arrogant beyond belief and consider themselves above the law! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digger Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 At £300k per fox if every hunt killed a fox each time it went out, how long before the RSPCA went bust? A prosecution driven by politics. How does anyone manage to film 500 hours of footage and hold down a job? Hope the benefits "people" are watching the watchers. The director of the RSPCA was on five live, what an odious bully. Be rather funny if the Queen removed their Royal title, even better if Cameron kept his pledge and a free vote rescinded the ban.

pegasus bridge Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 (edited) the americanism 'bang for buck' is very much apt here, in terms of money delivering animal welfare- this £327K was an obscene waste of resources. There will be thousands of animals enduring suffering that could have been tackled, but they clearly wanted to go after the this hunt. A couple of years ago i drove a swan into an rspca centre that was lame, they really didnt want to take it in, suggesting i should have left it to perish, explaining funds are tight. Watching the odious Gavin Grant and his role with the badger cull opposition, and now this farce has made it clear in my mind what these people are about, and it has nothing to do with animal welfare, and everything towards 'animal rights'. edit - have a listen to to odious Gavin Grant 1hr and 53 minutes in on the Radio 4 today program http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01p9ks6/Today_18_12_2012/ I know they do some good work, but the direction the RSPCA is going in is clearly not what the majority of people would like to see from them. I suspect it might have a time lag before the fall out from this starts to bite, but i'm sure it will. Although with them courting that hypocrite Brian May, himself in his twilight years, i'm guessing they are banking on a nice lump of cash from him, either way - they will not get another penny from me.

Greymaster Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 If there was a petition set up to ask the CharityCommission to review the charitable status of the RSPCA given it's clear political campaigning, I am sure it would get quite a few signatures.

four-wheel-drive Posted December 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 When they need some more money they will put Ralf Harris on the box again at the dogs home and people will think good on them helping the pore cats and dogs what a joke.

Scully Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 Caught some of this on the J.Vine show this afternoon;pro RSPCA listeners overwhelmingly outnumbered the pro hunters regarding 'phoned in' responses.One woman said she had considered cancelling her sub's due to what she considered an extravagant waste of money,but after hearing the hunt spokesman and his unrepentant attitude she changed her mind. Much has been made of it being the hunt of the PM's home town;an extremely wealthy Tory stronghold.Class issue?Don't be silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guest1957 Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 I'm really not sure what to make of this article: http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/wordofmouth/2012/dec/21/louis-cole-ate-goldfish-rspca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 I asked the RSPCA why it doesn't prosecute every angler who toys with a fish on the end of a line. "We have to look at individual cases presented to us," a spokesperson said, "and ask if unnecessary suffering was caused. If somebody was to phone the RSPCA to say that a person had made a fish struggle on the end of a hook, we would investigate that." Perhaps it's easier to pursue humane pranksters than to challenge Britain's amateur fishermen. Says it all about the RSPCA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taffyshooter Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 What a waste of court time. This ban must be the most stupid pointless piece of legislation brough in in recent times. I'm all for protecting species that are officially fully protected and prosecuting rogue hunters who kill them. But this concerns bl**dy foxes!!!!!!!!!!!!

pegasus bridge Posted December 24, 2012 Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 I'm really not sure what to make of this article: http://www.guardian....-goldfish-rspca i picked up on this a few days ago, i tweeted it, but it doesn't appear to have sunk in with many folk. the bit that jumps out for me is this "If somebody was to phone the RSPCA to say that a person had made a fish struggle on the end of a hook, we would investigate that." So potentially any time wasting call from the nutcases at PETA / Hunt Sabs (please see websites for the anti fishing rubbish) who reports this to their bed-chums over at the RSPCA could find the aggressive might of a well funded 'charity' to deal with. People who just fish tend to have a head in sand approach to these nutcases (PETA / Hunt sabs/ RSPCA) - but i would hope this would be a wakeup call for anglers. The RSPCA will not get a penny from me, instead I will spend my time spreading the word about just what they do, how they do it and the rotten company they keep.
