Sometimes publicity is the only means we have to influence things.
How does an animal welfare charity, founded on such good principles, end up like the RSPCA. Is it because someone who is interested in a big salary ends up in charge. This is not the only animal welfare group to have problems . Animal welfare groups are not the only kind of charity to have problems.
I guess the lesson in this is that it is not enough to send in money. You need to keep an eye on the groups you support. I go to AGMs and I make a point of voting for board members. I have even served on boards over the years. We have to watch and be involved.
Perhaps the RSPCA has not had enough public oversight.
Sadly people and their pets have suffered because of this. I would be devastated if one of my beloved pets was taken from me and killed without me there to comfort it. I don't know how the people are coping with what has happened.
