VIDEO

This pony was videoed whilst in RSPCA care, very, very lame.

Over the next few days investigators returned to the site and the pony was still lame and left untreated, an offence under section 4 of The Animal Welfare Act 2006!

The RSPCA have prosecuted people for less.

A video of a deal the RSPCA offered to someone after the RSPCA had the police take their 21 dogs into possession.

Because they refused to allow the RSPCA to keep the majority of the dogs the RSPCA went ahead and prosecuted.
This from a charity who have no authority, not even a court can impose these kind of restrictions under the Animal Welfare Act 2006, as was stated in Barker & ANOR V RSPCA, (see below), yet the RSPCA seem to think they can impose such restrictions on people, how is this justice?.

Or

 even allowed to happen?.

RSPCA threatening a farmer for renting out his own land to Tom Price, 56 horses were shot in the last days of 2013 by Swansea Trading Standards.

The horses were well fed and cared for.

The owner of the horses wasn't allowed to move the horses by the Police and RSPCA.

These horses were born in RSPCA 'care', returned to their rightful owner terrified/wild/feral/unhandled. How can this be in any animals best interests?. They are terrified due to not being handled correctly or indeed if ever been handled at all.

How have these horses received even basic care, worming, feet trims etc, in the 12 months or so the RSPCA were 'caring' for them, being so afraid of human contact.

This is neglect and cruelty.

In this video, this lady Linda Joyce Jones is warning people not to involve the RSPCA in anything animal. She also emphasized that the RSPCA say "whatever it takes" she is not emphasizing that for nothing!

Trouble at the RSPCA. 2017 Panorama programme

Panorama documentary 'misleading and unfair', says RSPCA

04 August 2017 by Rebecca CooneyThe BBC One programme, broadcast last night, accused the charity of being heavy-handed in removing animals from owners and in its animal cruelty prosecutions

The RSPCA has criticised last night’s Panorama documentary about the charity, saying the programme showed a "misleading and unfair representation" of its work.

The BBC One documentary accused the charity of being heavy-handed in removing animals from their owners and in its prosecutions of people it believed had committed animal cruelty, as well as repeating concerns about the charity’s governance.

In a statement issued before the programme was broadcast, the RSPCA rejected the allegations, saying the film failed to recognise the work it did, the people and animals it helped to support and the passion and commitment of its staff, volunteers and supporters.

"It will not recognise these things because it has chosen not to," the statement said.

It went on to describe the film as "a misleading and unfair representation of our work" and said the prosecution cases it featured were "handpicked for sensationalism" and to paint a picture that was "highly misleading and inaccurate".

The statement said: "The allegations that Panorama will broadcast will not be a fair representation of the work we do or how we do it."

The charity said it did not prosecute cases without good reason or a thorough review process and that it would take alternative action where possible.

"Of the 150,000 investigations by our inspectors last year, fewer than 1 per cent resulted in a prosecution," the statement said. "We do not believe this represents an over-zealous or vexatious approach. Far from it.

"Nobody wants to be investigated for animal cruelty, or indeed any crime, and it is no surprise therefore that the individuals featured in the case studies are critical of us."

It acknowledged there were occasions when it got things wrong and said it aimed to admit and learn from its mistakes and do better in the future.

The charity’s governance has come under fire in the past year after negative press stories prompted the Charity Commission to order a governance review of the charity in early 2016 and when Jeremy Cooper, the charity’s chief executive, left in June 2017 after less than a year in the job.

The review, carried out by Pesh Framjee, head of non-profits at the audit firm Crowe Clark Whitehill, led to a report published in June this year that recommended a series of rule changes, as well as other proposals such as enforcing its code of conduct more rigorously during board meetings.

In a statement featured on the programme, the commission said: "Sadly, at this time, the charity’s governance is below the standard we expect in a modern charity.

"We have made clear to the charity’s trustees that they must act quickly to put the charity’s recent difficulties behind them and put the RSPCA onto a secure governance footing. The trustees have submitted an action plan based on that governance review, which we are considering."

The commission said the changed needed at the charity "must come from the very top" and it would consider further regulatory action if the required improvements were not made quickly enough.

The RSPCA has accepted the rule changes suggested in the review and voted them in at the charity’s AGM in June.

The RSPCA statement on the Panorama documentary said that, although the charity did not accept the programme’s portrayal of the charity, it recognised that some improvement was required.

"We’re committed to continually improving everything we do as an organisation because we know that is the best way to achieve our charitable objectives of helping animals and people," it said.

It added that Panorama’s allegations about individual trustees were "without foundation".

A spokeswoman for Panorama said in a statement that it produced balanced, fair and impartial journalism. "There was a clear public interest to look at the practices and governance of one of Britain’s most well-known animal charities and examine whether the organisation is fit for purpose," she said. "We gave the RSPCA ample opportunity to respond to the issues raised in the programme and reflected their responses throughout. We also made numerous requests for an interview, and this was something they chose not to do."

Linda Joyce -Jones said on the 10th day of November 2020 about the above programme when she put it on her own facebook page :

Not the full episode.. I watched this in fulĺ as it was broadcast. As it was on air I was getting PM's from certain MP's Staff Team Members " I am watching it now- they ( #RSPCA England and Wales) have lost their way ". A few Senedd Cymru Members also PM me . On my FB feed it was a different story. The Staff team in Cardiff HQ held their silence- while the Staff Members at Llys Nini AC where the Dog that was returned to his family was kept posted " I can't believe he got that Dog back " ... I am told by the BBC that this programme was scheduled to be nearly an hour in length originally. I believe that 100% - Steve Carter featured here helped give me the confidence to speak out ... he headed RSPCA Cymru at one point #4theanimals. They want powers here in #Cymru and by default they will get them in England too . I am told " they are lobbing hard " . Well you will NEVER get statutory powers here in Wales... I can guarantee that ... watch this space.

RSPCA took my healthy dog away says agoraphobia sufferer.

Agoraphobia sufferer Dennis Proudley says it took more than two years and several court cases for the RSPCA to leave him and his dog alone.

16 November 2016 BBC News.



When an owner visited her dog which was in RSPCA 'care', the amount of water he drank, which the owner insisted on giving,  indicates this dog had not had access to water for some considerable time.

Horses at Bransby Horses, fighting over water, after two young girls added a bucket of water to a previously empty water trough.

What happened to clean fresh water should ALWAYS be available, or do laws not apply to charities.

North Yorkshire, RSPCA care, videoed soon after these horses had been seized for neglect/abuse.

This is not the chocolate box picture they paint of how 'rescued' animals are kept by them.
