RSPCA Rescue Horses

[brittone05]

Phil - can I just say this is getting boring now! Please stop spamming what would otherwise be informative threads - take up your personal problems directly with Rory and Nerys (or start your own bloomin thread) and allow the other members of this forum the chance to read without your vindictive quips getting in the way

Rory - with regards to candidates for the CEO position in the RSPCA, who are the likely candidates?

[TSKA Rory Matier]

Did l miss something?

Damn, wash the dishes and something exciting happens!

They have approached a number of different ceo's for the position Brit. They have an extremely qualified head hunter team out there, as to whom those candidates are, no idea.

Very valid point !

Many of us have indeed worked along side and with local rspca officers to provide 'expert' advice on species they didnt know about.

Good news is that the willingness of these local 'officers' has, in our case, resulted in many reptiles being removed from positions of danger, nursed to health and rehomed.

Unfortantly, what many people DONT know, is that HQ in horsham will STOP any activities like this IF they found out about it.

HQ DO NOT want anyone other than those in thier own pockets involved in any of thier activities.

One has to wonder why?

Anyway, back to topic

If there was a reason why the rspca (or some like organisation) is needed,then its this horse farm, NOT the odd snake thats not in a huge viv or to act on behalf of those who have a grude about their neighbour !

I am sure we will see many more of these rspca 'good work done' stories over the coming months, they know there is a small ground swell forming against their political activities, the closed doors, the financing.

They have to paint themselves in the right light ready for whats possible around the corner !!!

EDIT: Just looked at that site where you have got those pics from bit of an anti RSPCA site, I am sure for every bad picture you find there are hundreds of good ones out there...

I don’t think anyone is actually suggesting that the RSPCA should be disbanded, what I believe we are arguing is that they should be accountable for there actions and should cease being a political lobby for the Animal Rights Industry. And revert to what the overwhelming majority of the general public (who fund them) believe they should be therefore, i.e. careering for animals. It is very clear from there own data, that they are doing less and less hands on work caring for animals, and placing more and more emphasis, not to mention money, on advocating animal rights. We need the RSPCA, however, we need an RSPCA that is there for the right reasons, sadly I do not believe that we have this at this time.

I must admit i agree with chris on this issue yes we need someone like the rspca to deal with the cruelty that happens every day in this country and i feel that on ground routes level the rspca does or did do a really good job but having had dealings with them recently which have left me still in fear of loosing my pets i must admit they do not seem to the job they are supposed to do. I am not anti rspca as such but i am anti terrosing inncoent people saying they are mistreating animals. What makes it even wqorse for me is i found out recently thaat someone who was genuinely mistreating their cats was given a handout by the rspca to get them spayed and wormed and deflead and yet people who are doing no worng at all are persuecuted beyond belief and told they will loose their pets.
This sort of thing has to stop and something but needs to be done but as has been said in so many of these topics most of us are already doing all we can do within our limited means.
All i can hope is that the facade that the rspca has built up willbe broken down and the hq are made accountable for their actions but sadly i dont see this happening soon.

[leptophis]

have to say so did i, agree with chris that is, i dont quite understand the agenda nerys on just slating them across the board, the fact is they aint gonna be replaced, and before we go slating another organisation how about we get our own house in order

To be honest. Anyone with power, such as the RSPCA, will always have people picking at them. People who just have an issue with anyone doing better than them i guess. They're a large organisation. There have been people who work for the RSPCA, who don't get any say in what the big bosses do or plan. Yet work their nuts off, not only just mammals. they also keep reptiles for themselves, and try to educate others including their work mates on reptiles etc. And yet They're considered antis? To them, people like Nerys and Rory are their antis. I feel sorry for those people when they come on here and read the whole slander that has been allowed on here regarding the company they work for. The head office obviously don't fund any of the branches that do work their nuts off. They have to work their nuts off not only to rescue these animals but also find as many ways to fund the keeping, care and rescue of these animals.

I really and truly would love to see some of the people who slag the RSPCA Off try to do better on such a large scale. I know 99.9% of attempts will fail! They wont even get a tenth the size of RSPCA. Everyone will have their mistakes, in anything it happens! the government make mistakes, Microsoft make mistakes in regards to their operating systems. Anyone who are the top dogs make mistakes! and those mistakes are only pointed out as if a nuclear bomb has gone off in London because they are people in the spotlight! I bet if someone like Nerys made a mistake there would be no doubt that not many people would hear of it.

To be honest, i was proper determined to be a vet. But failed my a-levels in the first semester so turned to computing, but i was actually requesting to do voluntary work for the RSPCA while i studied. shame i didnt. Love to work with animals.

You should have seen the state of the lifestyles of animals being kept in turkey and greece when i went. My family booked a horseriding for the day, being taken all around the beaches etc and all. The horses we got were in a very poorly state from what i can remember (i was about 12 at the time) but i noticed how poorly they were being kept.

One horse was pregnant, and also having a baby horse (not sure the name is it a calf?) running along, my cousin had to ride the pregnant horse. My brother was put on a small horse too, no riding saddle or anything, fresh whip marks all down its side, and an eye missing. Remember my dad going mad at the person leading us because he punched the horse's face that my brother was on.
