Description
Edit: Fuck >:I I'll get the transparency back.READ MY DESCRIPTION BEFORE RANTING AT ME DAMNIT
Right. first things first. I support animal welfare. There is nothing better then animal welfare. Animal welfare rules.
The RSPCA, (The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) however, are morons in my opinion.
Example one
They get a call about a crow dangling by fishing wire in a tree. A woman goes to investigate, the crow is unmoving, but partially alive. The woman attempts to get the grow down by bringing a boat beneath it and grabbing it from the river below. This does not work. remember, children, this crow is almost dead. They then get out the fire brigade, yes, the fire brigade. to get this bird down from the tree. after, I think they told us it was five hours, they then decide to kill the bird anyway. They allowed this poor bird to suffer five hours more then it should. instead of taking the bird down they could have put it out it's misery as it would obviously die anyway with a gun from a local farmer.
Example two
The RSPCA came upon a house that was abandoned, covered in feces, with a horse, goat, and a few dogs inside. They looked about, took photos, then LEFT the animals there to see if the owners would come back within a week, even after people tell them they are abandoned. They come back, the horse and one of the dogs have died by then.
Example three
To adopt a dog from their shelter, it will cost you £80 - £100. However, what they do not tell you if you do not have them microchipped (£30-£40) and Spayed or neutered (£130) they will take them off you without word. This makes it almost impossible for someone that does not make alot of money to get one from there, that could offer just as much a loving home as anyone else. (I know this for experience when I was looking for a dog. The dog shelter is much much better)
Thus, I strongly dislike the RSPCA.
This is not an attack on the people, nor animal welfare. This is stating I dislike the way they do things. They do not think things through.
Might I point out, The "animal cops" they have in america seem to do things better then the RSPCA.

Was it a cat because they only show dogs in their commercials.

Ok you are allowed to have that opinion but there are hundreds of examples of GOOD things they've done. There will always be bad workers and everybody makes mistakes, but imagine if RSPCA suddenly closed down...

I agree with their intentions, but they need some common sense.

I tried to get a dog from the RSPCA, they asked me if I had a SIX FOOT FENCE around my back garden, I did but not all the way around, so I could not have a dog from them, the fence facing the neighbours was only four foot.... This was the case even though I only wanted a small dog, like a yorkie.
I agree that people should be forced to mircochip and neuter/spay, but obviously no everyone can afford to do that right away. The RSPCA has the nerve to beg for funding, but makes it so hard for us to adopt from them, it's plain stupid. I volunteered there because I loved being around the animals and caring for them. Those dogs are not walked everyday, they take on a lot of old people as volunteers and most of them are too weak (for lack of a better word) to walk the bigger dogs. I had to walk ALL the dobermans, GSD, rotties and staffies and they seemed to think that became my daily job. They made a rota for the volunteers instead of letting us all come in as we pleased, this is not how volunteering works! We give our free time!. The RSPCA does nothing to help it's self.
If you're adopting rabbits or ferrets our RSPCA lets you bring in photos of where you are going to keep them rather then them doing a house check, those photos could be from anywhere!
But I'm glad it's there, rather the dogs and other animals be there then in abusive homes or roaming there street.

Everything is dogs dogs dogs with those people. It makes me wonder if they even truly care about any other animal.

I've heard stories like this about the ASPCA (American equivalent to the RSPCA), so I'm a little sketchy about supporting them myself. I prefer supporting the local no-kill cat shelter I support.

I support them. Sure, they are a bit stupid, but damn they do better than the PETA!

All animals adopted from the RSPCA are already microchipped and neutered before they are adopted and frankly when you consider the cost of looking after the animals as well as all vets fees that need paying, the adoption fee barely covers anything.

yeah i dont like sspca either cos this so called animal charity have let me down 3 times when i tried to tell them about animals needing their help

I agree with you mostly.
Only the first case bothers me a bit. I appreciate that hey at least tried to help the poor bird. Shooting it in the first place wouldn't be an act of kindness. All they did was try to save it's life. Good intentions should always be appreciated.... Hn... It's a sin to kill, anyway. 'Couse, maybe, by God's will, and some miracle, the bird might have survived.
But wait, the second case. Um... did they check the conditions of the animals. I mean, if they were starved... There ain't much to think about...
And as for the third... Well, do they actually tell the owner what needs to be done? I mean, if they do, the owner should do it. They have their own rules... and maybe, only maybe, animals get the part of the money... I mean, their shelters ain't something, but I've seen worse...

Ugh, RSPCA are full of shit. Someone handed me a litter of perfectly healthy kittens and I was told to hand them over to the RSPCA. They killed all six of them, and their reason? "Oh we can't find a home for them." Bullshit. Kittens in shelters, even RSPCA ones are rehomed fasther than adult cats.

It's because they're dog lovers. Just look at any one of their commercials.

This is why I prefer shelters like the dog's trust. They wont put healthy dogs down, even if they have a few mental issues (agressive, frightened) they'll help them.

I was like "RSPCA? Isn't it the ASPCA? Confused... XD Anyways, they aren't that bad...I mean, they aren't exactly smart sometimes but humans make mistakes.
Example 1] They at least tried. I'd give them credit for that. I mean, I'd rather be killed humanely than with a gun to the head. It's not like Peta were they selectively choose what's dead and what isn't. (Cats, Dogs, ect are allowed to live! Lizards, snakes, ect can't.]
Example 2] That's the law. If they took the animals and their able to live a few days, they HAVE to, by law, look for the owner. They can't say "They are hurt, we must take them right away!" when they seem able to hold for a few more days. They are following the rules. If you watched the shows, they do that for a reason, they can get into huge amounts of trouble if they broke into someone's house and, even if the animals didn't die, they'd be put back into the same situation so it wouldn't really matter..
Example 3] The spay and neuter thing most means there aren't going to be babies for you or anyone else to deal with. Not a big deal really. And the microchipped animals really helps if you, lets say, happen to get your pet stolen by PETA.

Eh, I personally dislike ALF more.
>Bombs shelter
>Releases domestic animals into the forest
>Animals die in about 3 months not knowing how to survive by their own (most were puppies)
>Steals animals from a man who was going to sell them in a nice area. Man also feeds them giving them a large back yard. Also picked them from the streets
>ALF releases the pets into the forest
>Bombs the house and car of a man owning a local pet shelter
>Family was inside that night. Children lucky to be alive

We just have the plain SPCA in my area (in the U.S. ...but the city it's located in tacks on that R, making it the RSPCA 
And about the microchip thing, perhaps they're expecting you to ask, showing that you did your homework before adopting. But seriously, they need to tell you. I know our local shelters ask, but don't strongly demand it. Not too sure about the SPCA over here, as we've never gotten pets from there 
Good grief. I meant to simply say I agree and it turned reallllllllly long

Point one: Valid, however I'd rather see them get the bird down and see if it has the chance to live, in many cases they can revive animals from the brink of death. Also I'd prefer them to use a humane way of injection rather than shooting the life out of it.
Point two: I agree, completely. Though that would be the law to blame rather than RSPCA. Sorry to tell you.
Point three: These are fees you must pay, the first fee is to cover the medical attention and care that has already bee provided during its time at the shelter. The other two you've already stated. And they're not going to come up and take your animal, but if it escapes how in the world will they tell it from a stray? And if someone doesn't have the money to do that, then they should not buy a dog. Simple. And if you truly support animal welfare you do those things anyways because that is common sense and basic care.

This is how I feel about PETA.
They have a no-pitbull rule that says they won't take in any of the breed, and they kill thousands and thousands of cats and dogs a year.
Animal Welfare, right.

Peta are terrorists :I they've paid terrorists $75,000 (If I remember rightly) to firebomb medical research centres

I do not agree with Animal Testing, but I think they go too far.
They could have hurt or murdered animals that were in those centres, and it isn't right for an Organization to do what they did and continue to do.

It's alright to not agree with animal testing, though without it 90% of the medicines and knowlage of illeness, disease etc we have now would not be here.
but yes, PETA go too far. They even have a meat freezer because they kill that many at their shelters.

It's just, there are alternatives. I assume I should say I disagree with inhumane animal testing.
Really? That is extremely over the top for an organization designed to help animals.

Things such as makeup and cigarettes do not need animals to test them upon, that part I agree with.

My grandmother has cancer, and a lot of testing that is done with animals in MEDICAL LABS have helped my cousins, grandmother, grandfather, mother and myself, so I do agree with most medical testing.
That video was very informative.

Sounds like they were just doing things by the book.
Honestly, most things done by the book end up failing because those who write the books have either never worked in that industry, have studied the theory of it for numourous years but have never actually stepped foot in the industry before or if they have worked in the industry they hadn't for 20+ years therefore know nothing of the industry.

The ASPCA is just like that as well and people think that I am overreacting when I say I hate them. More pets are rescued by them only to be put down afterwords. They will put down dogs and cats that just bite once out of fear and call them aggressive when they really aren't.

I have a forth example for you.
My family went to adopt a dog just after my father died and we were turned down because we were a single parent family, to say my mother was angry didn't do it credit!

Sadly so, isn't it sickening?

Better in an animal shelter then with a loving single parent family obviously!
