A couple of times the RSPCA failed to respond to urgent calls I made to them, even though I waited for hours.
One incident concerning a very badly injured deer (which I would have shot if I'd had a gun with me) -and the second concerning a dog locked in a shed.
In both instances they seemed to "have some difficulty locating the place" but when I gave exact grid references, and ALSO offered to meet them at well-known landmarks in both areas, no-one showed up after many hours waiting for them. The one with "some difficulty locating the place" didn't seem -to me -to even be on the road.
When I was a little girl, we always trusted the RSPCA. My mother donated a lot of money over the years to them. Owing to that trust, I called them when I could see animals in great need which I could not take care of myself. And there was inadequate response.
