RSPCA-NOT-WHAT-THEY-SEEM: RSPCA DESPERATE FOR PUBLICITY TRY AND CAPITALISE ON THE MISERY OF THE FLOODS IN CUMBRIA

RSPCA - ONE OF THE RICHEST CHARITIES IN THE UK

In its ‘RSPCA policies on animal welfare’ it states under its Objects of the RSPCA that ‘The charitable objects of the RSPCA are to promote kindness and to prevent or suppress cruelty to animals

The RSPCA’s vision is, ‘To work for a world in which all humans respect and live in harmony with all other members of the animal kingdom

Under its Mission Statement, the RSPCA declares ‘The RSPCA as a charity will, by all lawful means, prevent cruelty, promote kindness to and alleviate suffering.’

And under their General Principles, the RSPCA states ‘The general principles on which the RSPCA operates, derived from extensive scientific evidence, is based on the fact that vertebrates and some invertebrates are sentient, and can feel pain and distress.’

What happened to all those honorable and admirable objects, visions, statements and principles when RSPCA inspectors arrived at an address in South Wales and proceeded to slaughter ten German Shepherd dogs with a captive bolt?

RSPCA DESPERATE FOR PUBLICITY TRY AND CAPITALISE ON THE MISERY OF THE FLOODS IN CUMBRIA

HOW MUCH OF YOUR GENEROUSLY DONATED MONEY DID ALL THAT EXPENSIVE LOOKING GEAR COST?

I think we should make this a caption competition!!

So when did the RSPCA become an emergency service? Was is necessary to send 60 officers (they have no powers, just titles) to rescue a few cats and dogs - which they did after the flood waters had subsided.

But have no fear Tim Wass is here:

'The town of Cockermouth, which was one of the worst affected areas, has had to cancel Sunday's Christmas lights switch-on.But there are hopes the Christmas tree, which was salvaged from the wreckage by rescue workers, will be lit. Chief officer of the RSPCA , Tim Wass, said: "They want to send a clear signal that Cockermouth will get back on its feet as quickly as possible. So they should light a tree."Mr Wass and his team of around 60 officers have been assisting emergency services in their rescues over the last two days. "We have been rescuing people as well as animals."He and his team rescued two cats from a first-floor flat in Victoria Street, one of the worst hit areas.'

We rather like:

‘So inspector, how many animals did you save today?’……….’two dogs and a cat sir’……….’Well thats not very good is it’…………..’No sir, but I did shoot 10 GSD’s’………….’Good man, you’re promoted’.

The real heros in this awful mess are of course the police and the volunteers from the RNLI and Mountain Rescue who sought no publicity but just got on with the job in hand.
