Because he's not a native species, he can't legally be set free again - he would have to be kept captive for the rest of his life.

This is just another very good reason for not supporting the RSPCA! They never fail to disgust me! When I did work experience at out local RSPCA shelter when I was at college, a baby blackbird was brought in. It was put to sleep straight away, even though there was nothing wrong with it. When I asked why it had been put to sleep, I was told no-one had the time to rear it! I was apalled!

Happens all the time used to have a friend who was an inspector with them and he got fed up with the red tape and the policies of them so he left over thing like this.

the likes of magpies and other vermin are destroying our native species.
It is right that they are put down........when was the last time you saw a sparrow or starling......mostly due to the magpie.
Mink have decimated the countryside.
You really have to look at the problem with an open mind

ive heard all this before....i hate the rspca, bunch of idiots & id never give them a penny....they spent millions on a new state of the art head office a few years ago....wouldnt that money have been better off spent on the animals or training their ill trained staff.....ive heard about tortoises they killed because they thought they were red eared sliders, they tried to prosecute some guy in bristol for keeping reptiles & spiders in poor conditions....they told the courts "the spiders were kept in such bad condition theyd even shed their own skins !!"
They also tried to take a cat away from someone because it had fleas !!
Ive also seen fields that the RSPCA has "so called" approved for horses to be kept in, but there was no drinking water, there was broken glass bottles on the ground & dangerous farm machinery with spikes sticking out........they are a joke.
They do put down healthy cats and dogs.....thousands every year in fact.
Many many years ago they tried to ban keeping fish !! They would also like reptiles to be banned as pets.
They also think theyve got the power to take animals & enter your property...but they dont.....they need a warrent & police....even then you can refuse them permission & only allow the police in.....tell them to .........i do.

Rubbish the magpie isnt responsible for the demise of sparrows or starlings.....all larger birds prey on smaller birds....its part of nature & its been happening for 100,000's of years.

You need to research more before you make comments like that m8 !
