The RSPCA are a particular pain to people who keep horses in fields, and the internet is awash with tales of people who’ve been on the sharp end of these powers.
As someone who works in liveries said to me, think of a horse like a car.

So, let’s suppose the RSPCC wanders past my yard and notices that I haven’t washed my car for a while, the tyres don’t have much tread on and there’s a scrape down the flank from an incident in a car park.
The RSPCC then enters my house to retrieve my car keys, and takes my car away, washes it, puts new tyres on it and patches up the body work. They then launch a private criminal prosecution against me for neglecting my car, and a civil suit against me to recoup the cost of the work they’ve done on my car and the cost of storage.
How are the RSPCA’s powers any different?
Anyway, thanks for reminding me of yet another way in which New Labour have handed unprecedented powers to unelected and unaccountable bodies.
I’d rather give my money to the Robert Mugabe Freedom Foundation.
