Hi, Don't know if it is any thing you guys are aware of but the RSPCA are doing an online blog of call outs for the next twenty four hours, I thought it was quite intresting so I have posted the link,

thanks josaphine32 - forgive the cynicism but I suspect it's either a fund raising stunt or a 'profile enhancer' - from experience, a lot of what the RSPCA professes to do and what they actually do are two different things. -Having said that there will be those who disagree and again, thanks for taking the trouble to highlight this. xC

No worries carmalee, I know what you are saying but still thought the twitter web site was intresting, I have cat that had a collar imbedded ( got stuck around her neck and sawed through to her front leg ) the rspca sent it off to the vets as they had not got the funds or resources to care for her, the vets contacted me after a week as the owners had not come forward and she was to be put down in the afternoon, The vets did the surgery and we have had amber ever since,

[ummmm]

RSPCA only care when the cameras are there...

They care even less of their employees. Mate of mine used to work for them....worst 2yrs of his life & he was an inspector.

Fair comment J32 and am pleased with the outcome for Amber - I was speaking from a professional point of view (I've worked for one of the top three/four animal charities in this country at a managerial level) - imo - a lot of animal welfare issues are addressed by these organisations but a lot more could be achieved if the corporate system wasn't bogged down with hugely wasteful protocol - money is wasted hand over fist.. I genuinely hope people get a positive result from your post btw and I don't have an axe to grind

They seem to be overwhelmed. I say thank goodness for them they are certainly needed. I've been reading the link posted by Josaphine and I wish I hadn't. There really are some disgusting people out there who shouldn't be allowed anywhere near an animal. One particularly awful one will keep me awake tonight.
