| Re: Wild about the RSPCA
I wouldn't be able to use adequately strong words to describe my past experience of the RSPCA as I would be banned as a member.
They are absolutely useless.
There was a feature on our local news only last week about a family of ducks who had taken up residence on a hotel swimming pool in Devon. The hotel were happy to let them stay, but feared for their safety in the chlorinated water which they were drinking as well as swimming in. I think there were 3 duckling, fairly well grown but still not able to cope alone in the wild or fly. They caught the ducklings first - bad idea in my book as they are the easy ones to get hold of and could have been left until adults were rounded up. Then they made such a pigs ear of trying the corner the adults, they flew off. RSCPA lady said "we'll look after the youngsters until they are old enough, but the parents may even come back and lay again!". Why split the family and put the youngsters in care, when the whole brood could have been released together somewhere else and left to get on with their lives.
I think the cat story is appalling and would suggest the local papers or even radio station might take up this story!  |
