It is scandalous that the previous CEO of the RSPCA - who appears to have pushed the "kill and prosecute" policy - received a massive salary of between £150 000 and £160 000 - more than double that of an MP! It was thought that the policy of prosecution would get them more publicity and more donations as a result. But in fact they got it all wrong and the injustice of many cases has come light over the past few years. Their donations are plummeting...and no surprise.
We discussed some other cases in a previous thread: http://www.animalloverswebforum.com/show...p?tid=1641
The recent report on the RSPCA will, I hope, bring them back to a more reasoned and reasonable approach. Prosecution - even if the RSPCA gets to keep that right - should be reserved for genuine cruelty cases, where humans have deliberately ill-treated animals or have left them abandoned and suffering. Those who are caring for sick or disabled animals do not fall into that category.
