Poacher Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 Its not new, i don't think, a friend of mine handed in a dog once, as a lost pet. She enquired about it after a week and found out it had been destroyed (according to her its policy after 7 days) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highlander Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Good old RSPCA they've just gone up in my estimation. I might even become a member! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuck1 Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 They went further down in my estimation when they pursued a police officer for 2 years through to the high court when he used a spade to put a cat out of its misery following a collision with a car. This officer sought advice from his supervision, and tried to get in contact with them, but they were unavailable. A vet who gave evidence at tried said that it's back end was "flattened" and he did the kindest thing. Had he left it, he could have been guilty of neglect!! I don't know how to post a link, but Google "rspca cat police officer" and see for yourself. Beware if you ever decide to exercise your judgement to prevent suffering. Hope you like porridge!

al4x Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Much as I hate the RSPCA in this case he was probably right, a 19 year old cats going to look pretty manky so probably best off being put down. I seriously doubt he put it down though much more likely to have been a local vet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When my mum was a child their cat came home with only 3 legs, it had been caught in a trap or something. Anyway my grandad took it behind the shed and gave it back end of the shovel. It was what happened back then, vets were for working animals or livestock. It is only society that has softened. I like cats, own a cat but wouldn't hesitate to finish him off if he was suffering or beyond the help of a vet. It is no different to finishing off a pricked pigeon or a badly shot rabbit is it?

Tony9r Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Aren't we going off track here... this was a family pet that was supposedly healthy (although old), that somebody else decided to end the life of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Master Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 This sort of thing was happening 40 years ago with the same corrupt organisation. My Dad's family cat went missing and after 5 days they found it emaciated in a gin trap. After smashing the trap as it was chained to the ground they took the cat home. They were going to put it down but it started purring as they brought it inside so they took it to the vets to see what he thought. The vet had to amputate the leg but the cat survived. Meanwhile the RSPCA couldn't care less and simply said you are lying. People set gins but check them everyday and don't leave animals in them for 5 days so we don't want to know. We have a cat and while I am not a cat person it makes me feel quite sick that the mindless inspector still has his job. I haven't met many stray cats (have tamed several into lap cats though for various relatives) that are old with few teeth as they would have rolled over and died long before getting to that age.

Vulcha Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 Oh my, what a moron. Cats are great, I've got two living here. If that happened to either of them the inspector would have got a good ol' smack in the face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
