RSPCA - ONE OF THE RICHEST CHARITIES IN THE UK

In its ‘RSPCA policies on animal welfare’ it states under its Objects of the RSPCA that ‘The charitable objects of the RSPCA are to promote kindness and to prevent or suppress cruelty to animals

The RSPCA’s vision is, ‘To work for a world in which all humans respect and live in harmony with all other members of the animal kingdom

Under its Mission Statement, the RSPCA declares ‘The RSPCA as a charity will, by all lawful means, prevent cruelty, promote kindness to and alleviate suffering.’

And under their General Principles, the RSPCA states ‘The general principles on which the RSPCA operates, derived from extensive scientific evidence, is based on the fact that vertebrates and some invertebrates are sentient, and can feel pain and distress.’

What happened to all those honorable and admirable objects, visions, statements and principles when RSPCA inspectors arrived at an address in South Wales and proceeded to slaughter ten German Shepherd dogs with a captive bolt?

Euthanasia statement- RSPCA SUSPEND ILLEGAL AND BARBARIC METHODS OF SLAUGHTERING ANIMALS

It looks like all the negative publicity about the barbaric and illegal methods utilised by RSPCA slaughterman to kill animals, has forced them to review their policies.
As you may be aware, the RSPCA is currently reviewing its euthanasia policy.

The RSPCA's first concern is to
prevent animal suffering and we are often called to alleviate this by putting an animal to sleep, for instance if a cat has been seriously injured in a road traffic accident.

As part of this review we are
making changes to the way we deal with the handling of veterinary drugs used to alleviate suffering by putting an animal to sleep.

As a result we have decided that our non-veterinary staff will no longer use these types of drugs.

WHO ILLEGALLY SUPPLIED THESE CONTROLLED DRUGS TO NON QUALIFIED RSPCA STAFF?


WHY HAS THERE BEEN NO POLICE INVESTIGATION?


However, RSPCA vets at animal centres and hospitals will continue to have access to pentobarbitone sodium (PBS) for euthanasia purposes.

We have been in close correspondence with the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons on this and have been looking to
update our euthanasia procedures in line with current legislation.

CONTROLLED DRUGS ARE GIVEN BY UNQUALIFIED PEOPLE YET THE RCVS IGNORE THIS !


In those cases where seriously injured animals need to be euthanased, usually wildlife or traffic accident victims, our inspectors and animal welfare officers will
look at all other options available to them, including calling independent vets to the scene.

Other forms of euthanasia will continue to be considered and used. However, we can confirm that the use of captive bolt guns on dogs is still suspended.

We have considered the welfare implications and are working with both the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) and the British Veterinary Association (BVA) on these changes.

We want to reassure the public that the RSPCA will continue to do what is in the best interest for the animals in helping to alleviate suffering.

THE RSPCA IS ALL ABOUT MAKING MONEY NOT WHAT"S IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE ANIMALS!!!
