The death of a pet is a terrible thing, one that all pet owners sadly have to face, unfortunately our boon companions are not granted as long as us on the earth. Yet while they are here they provide such comfort, joy and companionship far and above their brief time with us. Having been in a similar situation I would have given anything for just one more day, but it was not to be and it’s a terrible decision to have to make.
This is very sad story and one you might have thought could be handled by a bit of empathy and sitting down with a cup of tea and a good long chat. But not it seems for the RSPCA.
We’ve seen all to frequently how the RSPCA has no compunction in using donations to fight court cases against wills that they feel they have been bilked out of their share. But this sort of heavy handed approach is becoming far more common perhaps it’s a ploy ‘pour encourage les autres’.
But that’s not the jist of this post, no, the reason I’m writing this is a couple of things stood out in the story, now, it could just be lazy reporting (it is the Daily Mail after all)
The RSPCA broke into her home and, after finding the dog with numerous medical problems, charged 71-year-old Mrs Spoor with causing unnecessary suffering to her loyal companion.
‘The RSPCA broke into her home’ did you get that ? they ‘broke into her home’
I’m sorry I didn’t realise the RSPCA had been given Open Warrants to enter peoples property.
As far as I know, the only people in the UK with ‘Open Warrants’ i.e not needed to be authorised by a Judge are HM Customs & Excise and the utility companies, the latter only being authorised to enter to disconnect the supply.
I hope I’m wrong, but I am assuming that the RSPCA approached the Police, the Police approached a Judge and the Judge based on the ‘evidence’ issued a warrant to enter this ladies home. Then the breaking in was carried out by a duly authorised & Warranted Police Officer accompanied by the RSPCA.
What’s worrying is that at no point did anybody say “Hang on a bit, this is an old lady here, looking to lose a friend, couldn’t this be handled a bit more sensitively?’
Which brings me to the second point ‘ and, after finding the dog with numerous medical problems, charged 71-year-old Mrs Spoor ‘

| TAGGED BY THE RSPCA FOR NOT KILLING PET |
The RSPCA charged her did they, funny I thought that was the job of the Crown Prosecution Service or have the RSPCA become Judge Judy and Executioner* these days.
If however the CPS did bring the charge after pressure from the RSPCA whoever did it should be sacked as they are quite plainly useless, but I suppose on the stat’s sheet a conviction is a conviction in our don’t look at the quality, look at the numbers Judicial system.
Somewhere along the line the RSPCA seems to have lost sight of what it was actually founded for, It seems to have become ‘The Royal Society for the Policing of Cruelty to Animals’
I do know they will be getting no more money from me again and stories like this will only ensure that others will follow suit.

The RSPCA kill tens of thousands of dogs every year. What's one more?
Human euthanasia is illegal while people are being prosecuted for not being able to bring themselves to euthanise their, sometimes, only freind. What did the poor dog want? Nobody knows, I'd say the best person 2 ask is their best mate! Even if she is ignorant or misguided, so f*k*n what? She can't be prosecuted, she's 71 years old, offer nothing but assistance and if u can't help then f*k off and leave them both in peace...I could go on 4 ever.
**RSPCA, u preach all the time about treating humans and animals with the same respect, and ruin both of their last moments together and reap the cash rewards, U HYPOCRITES, U POISONOUS SCUM**
