RSPCA SEIZE, SIGN OVER OR RESCUE 135,293 ANIMALS IN 2009

It appears that the RSPCA have taken on themselves the right to seize animals - other people's property, in other words - as and when they please. They do not, in fact, have the right to do so. http://grumpyoldarchive.co.uk/rspca2.asp

135,293 animals were rescued, seized or signed over to the RSPCA in 2009.

RSPCA chief inspector Beth Clements said The inspectors seized the sick and dead animals and questioned the family, but were unable to establish the cause of the animals’ condition.

It seems pretty clear that Inspector Jenkins had made his mind up [to seize the animal] and that

he was unlikely to have agreed that the horse could be treated as offered by Miss Mayers,

a course which would, in my opinion have avoided all of this
