"The RSPCA is nothing other than the public face of the Animal Liberation Front.
Extremists with a public persona.
They intimidate and bully Fox hunters, people who wish to kill vermin on their own property , and say nothing about the widespread animal cruelty handed out by halal butchers day in day out.
Hypocrites? I'll say.
The RSPCA should have their powers culled and their Royal charter removed. They do not care for animals, they are control freak bullies.
Never give them a penny...there are many , good, worthwhile animal charities. Give to them freely. Give to charity, not bullies dressed up as one."
"The RSPCA was taken over by extremist animal welfare fanatics some years ago and has since lost all sense of its original purpose. It is now run by politically motivated people who gave £1M to Labour to pursue the hunting ban. Yet it makes no attempt campaign against Halal / Kosher slaughtering.
They are now using their powers to prosecute like a totalitarian organisation. What is more they are totally incompetent, as this sad story shows. Clearly their vet could not even recognise a common equine complaint, assuming they employed one.
Thank you Christopher Booker for reporting this Such events should lead to the removal of the RSPCA's Royal patronage. But of course it wont."
"Thank you Christopher Booker for again reporting news that is against the rspca, so many others seem scared to do so.
The case you cited this week is another example of the damage they do to people and animals using money donated by the public in stead of using that money for the welfare of animals.
I don;t think the general public is aware that the money donated does not go to the individual centres - they have to raise their own costs, all the donated money goes to the head office and is spent on court cases such as the two you have described.
They are not above public scrutiny and all their funds should be investigates and the organisation made to show where every penny goes - it is public money after all"
"The change being perceived in the way that the RSPCA operates - as an aggressive quasi state agency against individuals rather than as a benign charity is indicative of the wider insidious diminishing of the citizen as the state takes over every minute aspect of our waking lives. We are being increasingly managed and controlled. Why? Because they need this in place for when they can no longer keep all the balls in the air as to the illusion that all is well in developed western economies. Authority has set out to forestall anarchy"
"The current state of the RSPCA, (i.e. completely out of control,) is what happens when political policy is dictated not by common sense and simple decency, but by an unrepresentative pressure group and over financed lobbying operation, driven by, empire building management , financial self-interest and sustained by the cheap exploitation of sentimentality.
Where will it end, suing people who use antibiotics because the pathogenic bacteria are living things all well with a right to life and that experience pain or some analogue of it as well.
At least the Animal Liberation Front people were blatant and obvious loonies and you could see them coming.
Nowadays the same people knock on your front door with a warrant and cart your goldfish away into protective custody."
"I stopped giving to the RSPCA a couple of years ago when it became obvious that their political policies and political correctness became more important to them than the animals"
"I think that we all need to thank Booker for being brave enough to cover this very sad story - nothing can give this poor man his health back, but "something needs to be done" to prevent this from happening again and again. The many experiences of other innocent animal owners, must not be repeated. There are obviously strong parallels between this story and the experience of Martin and Gina Griffin, who also experienced an RSPCA vet who would not listen to what their own treating vet, Charlotte Mayers, told them. It is time for the British Equine Veterinary Association to repeat the warnings that it gave about seizing animals following RSPCA v Humphries and which were repeated after RSPCA v Ashraf."
"Is there not some charge that can be levied against organisations like the RSPCA that so abuse their power? I know false imprisonment / false arrest is one such, but surely there is some form of redress in law for those unjustly accused by such organisations?
If not, then the law must be rebalanced"
