Reading through local paper online yesterday, found this.
R.S.P.C.A. are umm pleading poverty.

Heres the link to story.

this is bristol - news, entertainment, jobs, homes and cars

Perhaps if they didnt go around bugging Genuine people who DO LOOK AFTER THEIR PETS WELL. They have more money to stop the real cruelty.

The RSPCA is far from skint! The centres are struggling for funds as they rely upon donations, but Headquarters has more money than God! What sort of organisation leaves its "frontline troops" to struggle on with no support whilst the upper echelons can afford to have a totally new headquarters built because the old one was "a bit stuffy"?

I support the original puropose of the RSPCA but totally despise what it has become now

I totally agree with you. Cats Protection are much the same. Loads of money to spend on Highly Expensive Posh Offices and nothing for the shelters that actually help the cats. Maybe the RSPCA should reword its adverts to make sure that people know that their money is used for reburbishing multi million pound offices and not actually for rescuing animals.

and if they spent less money on advertising and stupid propaganda tv programs to make themselves look like martyrs maybe they'd have more money to help the animals theyre supposed to be saving

More laughable comments from the RSPCA. They've got enough funding sitting at headquarters to feed a third-world country for a while

I wouldn't mind having a quarter of the money the RSPCA has sitting in the bank.... Shame they don't think all the animals they "rescue" are worth spending it on!

I'm another one who gives them a lecture if they dare to come to my door, lol, we had one here only a week or two ago!
