If she turns up again tell her that if she doesn't leave you alone you'll sue her for harrassment.........

She asked me if i was ok and i said not really and then proceeded to ask if she could see my animals and for the first time ever i had the guts to say no. She asked why i said it wasnt convenient and she asked why not so i said i had just gotten up and once i had got ready i was going out if she didnt mind. She then asked if i am around alot of the time an d i replied sometimes i am sometimes im not so she said she would come back again at a later date i asked her when and she didnt reply just walked off.
I really couldnt beleive i had actually stood up to her for the first time and when it was all over i was shaking like a leaf but i also felt very proud of myself. I know she will be back again but when is anybodies guess she wouldnt give me anything spacific on that front which i am sure they are supposed to but next tiem she calls my mum in law who has jsut come to live with me has said she will answer the door and say i am away on holiday and refuse her entry lol Will keep you updated as to how this develops but i do feel i deserve a big pat on the back for not allowing her to intimidate me this time

Hi all,

Well done to you,if she keeps calling and upsetting you do her for trespass and harrasment.

Being clever will get you know where, the only way they can enter is with the police on a warrant and then only the people on the warrent are allowed in if it does not mentiont the RSPCA officer they cannot come in to your property or on it.

Also a judge does not write out warrents willy nilly they have to prove why they want it with relevant facts not hearsay.

Just wanted to add my support and say well done.

Why not let her in anyway and show her there is nothing wrong so she leaves you the hell alone???
Sorry if there was another thread that I missed.

No sorry that is the worse thing you can do. Some of these charity workers will stop at nothing to take away exotic pets from their owners. Some will say "that python is 3 feet long so it will need an 8 foot viv !" I have heard of people that this has happened to.

This organisation are very political and are bias towards exotic animal keeping, they want exotic animals off the market and out of peoples homes. It is dangerous to let them in without a police officer, a warrant and an expert vet.

Hi
I did used to let her in but she keeps coming back even though she can find no fault shehas threatened numerous times to confiscate my pets stating they are not adequately housed ie a four foot corn needs an eight foot tank and that they do not display normal behaviour patterns coz one of my rats liked to give kisses so this is an ongoing saga with this one charity worker.

To every one else thanks for all your support i feel so proud right now as i never thought i would ever stand up to her but she makes me so angry with the way she treats me. I feel stronger knowing that i have the backing of others out there and althougth i will never be outright rude to her i will make it known she isnt going to walk over me any more, mind you i find they hate it more when oyu are polite to them and they cant get a rise out of you

[ukreticnut]

tell her next time to learn what the hell she is talking about or seek another voluntary career,
as you state she keeps coming back it is worth remembering that she is just joe bloggs and if a usual member of public kept coming to my door asking to come in i would get a restraining order due to harassment.

make it clear they are not welcome

or get a charity collection tin, next time she comes follow her home and keep on knockin

Surely she is not a volunteer but a paid employee of the RSPCA.
As for getting a Warrant, well it is probably easier than you all think. The RSPCA would go before a Magistrate who probably knows nothing about keeping exotics. They would say that either they have information from a reliable source or from previous visits they have made about the conditions the animals are kept in and that entry has been refused. The odds are the Magistrate will grant the warrant.
I agree that refusing entry today was fine but it is a one of those things, be polite explain your reasons and leave it at that. If they keep visiting write to them asking for an explanation.

Good on ya! I've had hassle off sspca in the past about my dogs and they think coz they wear a uniform they can act like the cops. They were called out by one of my neighbours as they hadn't seen the dogs out much (i'd been ill and my body clock was backwards, awake all night and asleep thro the day) the guy called me when i was at my mums house with dogs so told them to come and look at dogs which they did but i never let him in house.
No-one gets in my house sspca can meet dogs in garden just to prove there's nowt wrong with them. Cops don't even get in my house they are the worst! They're like vampires once you invite them in your stuffed.
