Exclamation imagine a home where there are no pets

this is for those of you who dont know the rspcas real reason for existance....the truth is that they want a complete ban on all pets, so think about it your entire collection seized in a 30 minute raid after years of growing and loving. think about what will happen to those pets....rescue homes? i doubt it....more like extermination. we need this sorted before this forum is about our dreams and pasts not our futures and present

WHAT CAN BE DONE?

we must work together before its too late

Is this not a bit of an overreaction????

You make it sound like we are going to get our doors smashed in and all our animals taken within the next year.

I really can't ever see us being banned from keeping pets. Especially domesticated ones like cats and dogs.

Chill out dude. Your pets are safe for the forseeable future.

I personally don't think spamming this on every forum here is actually going to make a difference.. One post is plenty, all spamming is going to do is not raise awareness but make people annoyed with you I'm sure there are people here who can put you in touch with the correct organisations, where you could join in with the campaigning

They probably have pills that will help you.

The RSPCA has it's bad points yes but they still cannot simply walk in and steal your animals without reason.

What can be done?

Probably nothing until a reptile specific charity grows large enough so that the RSPCA will not be needed by reptile owners.

IMO the GREAT work that the MAJORITY of the RSPCA do should continue. God knows how many aminals would have died through continued cruelty and neglect without them.
I'm also sure crossposting so much wasn't the best idea. Maybe "general herp chat" and just one thread would have done

So do you have anything solid to back your statement?

I cant see the government allowing a multi-billion pound industry to be wiped out by the RSPCA at her majesty's pleasure, the queen keeps dogs, lots of them, and horses, god knows what else. It would take decades of confiscation and cost them hundreds of millions to eradicate all the pets in the country, there are so many of them. What about pets like horses? What about the olympic showjumping team? Would we just not participate anymore? I know Nick Skelton's family personally, and they aren't just working horses, they are completely adored expensive, well trained pets. What about international sell out meetings like crufts? Or the Royal Show? Or the Town and Country show? Or use of sheep dogs? Hunting dogs, fox hunting (supported by royalty), Polo, Greyhound racing, horse racing, a lot of these animals end up as pets when their careers are over. There are endless reasons why the government, let alone the

And what about their policy on rehoming, they have to quit rehoming before they start rounding them up to kill em all off, lol

Sounds a little extreme to me. maybe someone can prove me to be wrong??

OK I don't think we need to have multiple threads on the same topic... I'll move this into General Herp chat and delete the other...

it's not going to happen! This is the RSPCA we're talking about not the SS!

Load of rubbish.

Take a deep breath, calm down.

Maybe there's some kind of charity we can contact to report you for abusing your keyboard so much
