Default RSPCA secures conviction for squirrel drowning



"David D" wrote The only way to get across to "charities" like the RSPCA
that they've lost
the plot and getting above themselves is to stop giving donations to them,
they certainly start to take notice when the money gets tight. Had a
similar experience with the RNLI over the "eel incident", they evaded my
e-mails but when I wouldn't renew my subscription they were full of
"apologies" but lied through their teeth about replying to my e-mails.
This incident sounds to me like the neighbour getting his own back for
something this guy had said or done and the RSPCA going in for a bit of
propaganda/brainwashing. The NSPCA have been trying it on lately as well.

Don't talk to me about the RNLI, the 3.500 paid office staff have a nice new
office block costing millions with subsidised food etc but the 850 unpaid
seamen that risk their lives have been told to get their personal lights
from Halfords instead of the more expensive but infinitely better lights
they used to buy from a specialist supplier. Shows where the managements
priorities lie!
The RHS is similar too, buying in lots of managers last year and sacking
gardeners ??
These charities seem to be just wonderful jobs for well connected idiots
IMO, they used to go into the Church in the old days.
