The problem with this case, is this one will HURT them, it will injure the brand, both political and local, at the end of the day RSPCA is one brand.

If this goes to court, this would hurt financially, visually, as well as injure their credibility and stability within the charity side of things, this one case could lead to a very long and big OUCH!

For a long time, the RSPCA have been asked for accountability and responsibility into a lot of their actions.

I was told you can't sue a charity. They can be prosecuted and have black marks against them and also stripped of charity status but not sued. Not sure if that was true or not but that's what I've been informed?

theres alot of press surrounding this, MPs visiting, hopefully the RSPCA get roasted, although they are going to argue the cruelty side, and it kind of is right, the cow was in a sorry state.
