I do agree with you on the RSPCA. The dealings I've had with them have been very positive. I wouldn't for a minute call them based on a story like this, we simply don't have all the relevant information, there's plenty of possible reasons why they were delayed.
I can fully understand why the chap was very upset though, I certainly would have been if I'd been in his position. I'm not sure I'd have waited three hours either, but again I refuse to criticize him, his initial reactions were way above what many people would have done.
It's just one of those sad no win situations.
