JUST WHEN YOU THINK YOU CAN'T HEAR ANYTHING WORSE

This is part of an email sent to Dogs Monthly January 25, 2010. We cannot print the words we want to say. How could a so called animal welfare society ever stoop this low?

'Just read the article about the unfortunate German shepherds, what a disgrace!

I have never had any time for the RSPCA, especially after the encounter I had with their 'work' in the 1980's.

I used to buy my dog food from a slaughter house in Bedfordshire, visiting there probably every two weeks. On some occasions there were dogs tied up outside, usually German Shepherds or large breeds. For a while I just thought they were dogs belonging to the slaughter men.

Until one day there was a chocolate miniature poodle tied up to the fence. I asked the men why the dog was tied there and they replied that the local RSPCA officer dropped the dogs there for disposal. I of course was horrified, I went on to ask them how they disposed of them. they replied that they were treated the same as the other livestock. That is hopefully stunning them while tied up upside down and then slit their throats.

I was so upset I asked them if I could take the little poodle home, they said I could, I think they were also concerned for the little chap. Cocoa was his name and his only crime in life was that he was a little neurotic. Do you think that his past owners would have let him go if they knew what his end would have been like. I had to sign a form to legalize the transaction and off I went with Cocoa.

We had a local RSPCA officer living in my village at the time and I promptly went to see him and confront him with my findings. He looked at the form and he really didn't believe me, or didn't want to. the name of the Bedfordshire officer was on the form and he assured me that he would investigate. I left the form with him and that was the last I saw of him and the form, soon after ran off with one of the local female parishioners. So all the proof I had had gone, except little Cocoa.'

THEFT OF CONTROLLED DRUGS AND UNSECURED BULLETS FROM RSPCA WORKERS HOME

How is it that a charity employee, an ordinary member of the public, has dangerous drugs in their possession at home? Is it not illegal for an ordinary member of the public to be in possession of such highly addictive, dangerous drugs?

Why did this same charity worker also have live unsecured ammunition in their home?

Why is it that the RSPCA are above the law?

Shall we ask North Wales Police?

Police have issued an urgent appeal for information after powerful medicine and bullets were stolen in a house burglary in north Wales.

They said the break-in happened at the home of an RSPCA worker in Llangernyw, Abergele, Conwy on Saturday.

As well as personal items like bank cards, a metal box containing two glass bottles of the medicine Pentbarbitone Sodium and bullets was stolen.

Officers said they are concerned where these items are.

The robbery took place sometime between 1230 GMT and 1830 GMT on Saturday.

North Wales Police said anyone who witnessed any suspicious vehicles or suspicious behaviour in the Llangernyw area should come forward.

Anyone with information should contact officers at St Asaph on 101, or 0845 607 1001 (Welsh line) or 0-845 607 1002 (English line), or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

50 OFFICERS RAID KENNELS THAT ARE NO WORSE THAN MOST COUNCIL RUN POUNDS

So it takes 50 officers to raid a boarding kennels that is no worse than most council run pounds. Three dogs that were ready for rehoming were destroyed during the raid. Bit of target practice for the inspectors no doubt!!

A BOARDING kennels in the Black Country was dramatically shut down by police and the RSPCA after complaints about conditions at the facility.

Animal welfare inspectors and police with a warrant raided the Rosedene Boarding Kennels, Radley Road, Walsall, on Thursday at 9.00am.

Witnesses said around 50 officers entered the site, near Rushall, before moving staff away.

In total 59 dogs were found at the kennels however three were put down by vets on site.

The other 56 were taken into RSPCA care as officers remained on site until around 9.00pm.

Judith Haw, RSPCA spokeswoman said: “56 dogs were removed from the premises by the RSPCA due to the conditions at the kennels. Three dogs were euthanised at the scene on veterinary advice. All of the dogs, which have been signed over by the RSPCA, are now in animal centres for re-homing.”

She added an investigation had been launched into the state of the kennels which took in stray dogs from Walsall, Dudley and Sandwell to be re-homed.

A spokesman from West Midlands Police said the operation had been conducted on a warrant under the Animal Welfare Act 2006.

He said the organisations had acted after information from the community raised concerns about animal welfare.

One witness, who asked not to be named, said there had been problems with conditions on the site for years but said volunteers had done their best to take care of the dogs there.

She said: “Staff were not allowed on the premises, they shut it down and all the dogs have gone. Three were put down there.”

She named three put down by vets as Diesel, Stocking and Clarke before adding: “The people there do a lot to save those dogs lives.”

Edith Palmer, 61, who also lives nearby and owns two dogs, said she thought the kennels had been open for around 20 years. She added: “I’m really shocked. I always thought it was good up there. I’ve only ever been up there once. Some people walk dogs from the centre up here, but that’s all I know.”

Links to the kennel’s website were down yesterday and the telephone had been disconnected when the Birmingham Mail tried to get in touch.

ANIMAL 24/7 - FRAUD

Shh, they'll never notice!!

Some eagle eyed viewers watching the animal 24/7 series in December, noticed that all was not right. In several of the RSPCA cases, the before and after animals were not the same. This is one of the complaint responses.

Our Complaint:

10th Dec, Animals 24/7 episode 9. Used two different cats and told viewers it was the same cat. One had white on face and legs, other was blackfaced and white only on feet. Fraud"

Their Reply:

Thank you for contacting the BBC about Animal 24:7 broadcast on 10 December 2009 and please accept our apologies for the delay in replying.

I contacted True North Productions who make this programme for BBC Daytime. They contacted RSPCA Inspector, Stuart Wainwright who confirmed the following:

The female cat rescued from the house was taken to the vet, had kittens which died but she survived (following your complaint we asked the independent vet surgery's responsible for looking after this cat and their computerised records confirmed this).

As per the film the rescued cat was then neutered and sent to the cattery.

Two months later Stuart Wainwright contacted the cattery to check on the rescued cat and to ask if True North could film an update.

The cattery agreed to this and in September 2008 we visited and the staff directed us to what they believed was the rescued cat.

As you're probably aware the rescued cat was in a very bad state when Inspector Wainwright rescued her eight weeks earlier and he is involved in so many different cases. Therefore he didn't stop to question if it was the same cat, and it was on this basis that True North shot the sequence.

Following your complaint True North immediately contacted the cattery's owners. After we explained the feedback we had received regarding this staff then realised that on the day of filming they had more than one black and white cat and had got them mixed up.

The RSPCA Inspector checked his log number and confirmed the rescued cat was alive and went to that cattery.

I would like to thank you for drawing this matter to our attention as this error should have been picked up at the production stages and for that we sincerely apologise. True North will re-edit the sequence but still make it clear to viewers that the rescued cat was alive and well and was

successfully re-housed following a period in the cattery.

In all the years of filming for this series this kind of mix up has never happened, to the best of our knowledge. Going forward we will all be clearly be more mindful of the potential for such things to happen in the future.

Yours sincerely

Carla-Maria

BBC Executive Producer

Do you think they think we are stupid?

WRONG. The public are now beginning to doubt

everything the RSPCA says and does.
