I too wondered if there were issues between the neighbours....though it has to be said that many people wouldn't know or care if the ravenous bug-blatter beast of trall lived next door!
However, IMO the fact that there is a chance of neighbour dispute entering a new dimension doesn't excuse the RSPCA's actions, Luna was healthy and in good condition...unless the neighbour had tampered with her coat condition etc. in order to make her look like a stray (in which case they need to have the book thrown at them
) the RSPCA did not hold the cat for any amount of time to allow for owners to trace the cat..........
The admin on the second link is trying to gather evidence of this type for submission to the Charities Commisson. Like many of the rescues on here she takes on cases that the RSPCA have turned thier back on, a significant amount of them involving blantant cruelty.
The PM I recieved follows:
Sadly Jade and Sheba lost their fight for life, the neglect that they suffered had gone on for too long without any veterinary intervention, yet again the RSPCA let it happen, for the last 6 weeks of their lives they enjoyed the love and kindness of a very special foster family, they then knew what it was to be feed regularly and to sleep in a warm bed....
We think that it is time that the RSPCA are looked into more closely to stop any more dogs (though she will take reports on any animal case) suffering needlessly and owners not being prosecuted, this is where we need your help.
HAVE YOU GOT ANY EXPERIENCES OF THE RSPCA?
In order for the Charities Commission to consider any stories as evidence that the RSPCA is not always using its vast funding for the purposes intended by the general public, the reports have to be verifiable.
To meet these requirement, each reported incident will need to include
1) The name of the person who had the unsatisfactory experience. (We may need to also ask for an address if the CC request it as further proof but hope this won't be necessary)
2) The dates and times of the incident/s.
3) Full and precise details of each incident including calls made to the RSPCA and their response.
4) Emotional impact.
5) Copies of any correspondence.
6) Any photographic evidence.
7) Length of time involved.
Details of any outcome - satisfactory or otherwise.
If anybody can help then please send any information through to me.
