Comments on: RSPCA Welcomes Dog Control Bill In The House of Lords http://www.dogmagazine.net/archives/2368/rspca-welcomes-dog-control-bill-in-the-house-of-lords/ the lifestyle magazine for dog lovers Sat, 11 Jun 2011 15:23:06 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Andrew http://www.dogmagazine.net/archives/2368/rspca-welcomes-dog-control-bill-in-the-house-of-lords/#comment-38377 Andrew Sat, 02 May 2009 07:46:47 +0000 http://www.dogmagazine.net/?p=2368#comment-38377 It is time that the rspca were re-educated regarding their foundation. They were once a animal charity with the sole purpose of helping animals. This has now long been replaced with a vengeful political animal rights agenda and addiction to gaining overall power regarding ALL animal welfare issues. Not only are they not competent to undertake this roll but they have a serious bias and an unhealthy conflict of interest in all animal welfare issues. Unfortunately this Labour Government has become all too eager to hand responsibility and costings into the private sector so the rspca will continue to control legislate and enforce their personal policies onto the UK animal keepers. I have seen first hand the incompetence of the rspca but they possess a get out of jail free card and are above the law and are blindly protected by a gulible media. They will not work with other groups and the whole basis of the AW Act is based on their desires and their five freedoms, cutely changed to " Duty of Care " which fails abysmally as much of it cannot be implemented. The rspca in my opinion do not want animal welfare improved they just want to Police it!!. It is time that the rspca were re-educated regarding their foundation.

I think there has been a bit of verbal slieght of hand here. The RSPCA constantly have 'case' animals in their centres for months. It can't be helped as they have to stay until a court can decide their future. To suggest this would stop if BSL was repealed is wrong even if they were also 'type' dogs. Without BSL they would still have to stay in kennels until the 'case' is decided.

What does this mean, do the RSPCA hold dogs for the police or something? Are the RSPCA now an enforcement arm for the government, I stupidly thought they were a charity funded by donationsand legacy? ‘Defra Minister Jane Kennedy MP was able to see at first hand the plight of many case dogs forced to stay in kennels as a result of the Dangerous Dogs Act during a visit to one of the Society’s animal centres during RSPCA Week.’
