This blog has been established by animal lovers to expose the double standards, hypocricy and media driven prosecution policy that is institutional within the RSPCA. This site thoroughly condemns cruelty and neglect towards animals and in particular objects to the numbers of animals killed by the RSPCA (60,000+ per annum) and several of the methods used.

I'm certainly no advocate for the RSPCA, I think they are a waste of good money that could otherwise be spent on saving animals' lives.
However, the RSPCA does have powers that other charities do not "enjoy" (or abuse). That is the power to mount private prosecutions.
Private prosecutions always have to authorised by the Attorney General, who should assess the quality of the evidence, etc, before granting permission.
Yet when a prosecution is brought the RSPCA, these legal safeguards seem to be suspended and A-G's permission to prosecute seems merely a formality.
