Let us know if you hear anymore Annie please.
You know technically anyone can make a police complaint about someone, so WE (generic term) could make a complaint about that lousy owner and the police HAVE to act.
I never ever contact the RSPCA even if I see animals in trouble I tend to contact the breed rescue, Golden rescue, donkey rescue etc and follow it up afterwards to see what they have done.
I hate the fact that the RSPCA has a 14 day policy (allegedly) that if the animals are not rehomed in 14 days they get put down.
They have even refused to sell goldens to the golden rescue if they run out of time, they prefer to put them to sleep.
Make no mistake here the RSPCA SELL animals, it used to be £70.00 for a dog and £28.00 for a moggy, God alone knows how much it is now.
I know of a champion golden that escaped and despite loads of advertising the RSPCA got hold of the dog and as he was 'old' (9) they put him to sleep without the 14 day period as quote " He was too old to rehome." Allegedly.
