The RSPCA, that once-admirable charity, now often seems to pursue animal-lovers through the courts simply to win the publicity that keeps its £115 million a year in donations rolling in.
And why do the police now regard themselves as the charity’s enforcement wing? What an admission from Northumbria police that they seek to justify holding a 66-year old man of impeccable character for nine hours by saying “the RSPCA is leading this investigation”.
When did Parliament empower RSPCA officials (all ordinary members of the public) to order our police around like this?
I would urge anyone who reads this not to give the RSPCA a penny. They've got entirely too big for their boots, and our legal system has allowed it to happen – encouraged it, even.
One charity I do regularly support is the RNLI. Can you imagine the effect if they went the same way as the RSPCA? We'd have armed high-speed lifeboats cruising our shores and estuaries, arresting people for not wearing a life jacket or capsizing their racing dinghies. http://www.grumpyoldsod.com/rspca4.asp
