I used to support the RSPCA, in fact my wife used to help out at the weekend many years ago. Then I heard that they had destroyed 10 healthy German Shepherd’s with a captive bolt gun dragging each one out of its kennel and killing it in front of the others . This is a terrible cruel way to kill any healthy animal and pushing a metal rod in the brain of the dog after the bolt gun is used to make sure the poor creature is dead. It’s known as pithing and the operator of such a device needs to be correctly trained in how to use. The U.K. German Shepherd rescue had offered to take these animal but were refused. Since I heard about this I started looking into reviews and found out they have a dreadful reputation in the U.K. For reasons stated above I will never support such an organisation and there are plenty of accounts of this organisation that have harassed vets, lawyers and former employees resulting in one lady taking her own life.

They trespassed on my property & singled out 5 of my ponies, they sedated them not knowing any previous history from my vet! They stole them & was forced by frightening me stiff of what they were going to do to me! I was told to leave when I arrived from work at lunchtime to do my usual checks. They are a horrible bullying organisation, I used to support them because I thought they did a good job! A further update is 2 of my ponies taken are now dead! They certainly wouldn't have been with me. I have no regard for this organization who bully, lie & cheat to take peoples animals.

Log: 951178 Hi, I just wanted to thank John Brooks from RSPCA today because I am genuinely so pleased at how caring he is towards animals. My household indoor cat got stuck on the second floor high roof. It climbed from my attic window all the way four houses straight. I could not have asked anybody else to resolve the sticky situation we were in, as fast and effectively as John did. He asked the right questions and analysed the back and front of the roof to find all the possibilities on how to get the cat down safely. He asked the fire brigade to come as it was an emergency and my cat was starved and stuck between two edges of the roof. John showed kindness and sympathy for my cat which was very heart warming to see. John also showed amazing problem solving skills as he communicated well with the fire brigade to make it easier for them to lure the cat back safely. My cat was running away from the ladder as it was very frightened however the fire brigade finally got him with a net and John helped them bring the cat down from the ladder very gently so the cat does not get hurt in any way, from the net. He was careful enough to put the cat in the cage but when he saw the cat became agitated and scared he took the cat in his arms and safely put him in our home. I am very relieved and happy with John’s performance today morning. Our cat has already become playful as he normally is now that he knows he is safe. Our street cat who gets scared easily of strangers also came to John which just shows what a natural animal lover John is. I want to thank John for his fantastic hard work and will forever be grateful to John and a special thanks to the Fire Brigade team and RSPCA Team for all bringing my household cat safely home. Sincerely Asma

The animal is not the usual cat or dog and probably the officer is out of his depth but he could google the facts that Alpacas need to be shorn at least every two years and that is for health reasons as well as the distress of an over long coat in hot weather The Alpaca in question is covered with scabs under the coat and needs treatment Visiting inspector(s) have brought about no changes and I am unable to offer help in terms of Alpaca experts and society that would be wiling to support Smooth talking uncaring owners with silver tongued excuses ma have diverted from the facts but that is not good enough A dismal situation which needs rectifying immediately Get some facts and knowledge inspectors Not hard with the internet Wise up!!! You can insist animals are treated appropriately and their welfare is addressed or removed Joe Public cannot DO YOUR JOB

Absolutely disgusting lady that called me today, rude, nasty, very hostile. Would not recommend this service at all to anyone, these people shouldn’t be allowed to take in vulnerable animals. Vile disgusting people.

I have just called the rspca about a dog that has been barking and has clearly bee stuck in the same place for hours and they want to do nothing. They said they can not record a noise complaint!! I wasn't complaining about the noise just the welfare of the poor dog. The man I spoke to was quiet rude and didn't seem to care at all. Iv spoken to people who have had similar experience and I completely get what they were telling me now. He didn't listen to what I was saying and could only focus on the barking, what's the point in reporting when you get a obstructive person who is clearly unable to use their own common sense. Poor animals.

I told RSPCA today that a dog is screeming every day, it sounds like in pain and been neglected, it sounds like a puppy. I was asked by a lady on phone does it have water food and shelter to which I replied I can't see from where I am, she said if it has they can't send anyone around. Then she said call the council to report a noisy dog. She also said puppy's often screem. Can you believe they are supposed to be preventing animal cruelty?. Where's compassion and reality? I'm going to sort it out myself.

My neighbour murdered my cats and those other people in the street. The RSPCA were called and promised to assign an inspector as well as a vet to do the toxicology reports. 3 months later not a single supportive contact, not a single visit. Nothing, no action at all. Oh, I know they are always bleating about money, and I was a regular donor but they are the statutory agency leading on animal welfare with support from the Police so they have duty to respond, it is not my fault that in the last 198 years they have not learned to manage their funds. They should have the Royal warrant removed, and because the RSPCA won't do anything the Nottinghamshire Police say they are powerless to help as well. Thanks, my family are dead and no-one cares!

I rang the RSPCA and spoke with a male call handler. I told him that pigeons were trapped inside the attic of an empty property, I shared that I had seen them going in and out of the holes in the roof where there are slates missing. A neighbour saw the birds go inside the roof holes and then saw roofers put slates over the holes, trapping the birds inside. The roofers did not enter the property and the birds had no means of escape. The Call handler told me because the information I was giving him had come from a neighbour and was "third party" he was "not going to action the call". He wanted to have an intellectual debate about the neighbour asking me why she hasn't she phoned the RSPCA ... I said I don't know why, and even though HE had asked me the question he cut me off. It was awful, he was argumentative, highly intense, it was incredibly stressful - I was trying to save the lives of these birds, a living breathing creature. He then said he is going to end the call and put the phone down. I had a look on the RSPCA website after this awful call to see if they state that they ONLY take calls from people who directly witness cruelty/suffering but couldn't find anything. Very sadly, these poor birds will die a painful suffering death. I found the whole conversation to be absolutely atrocious and he made me feel like I was doing something wrong by phoning.

I called the RSPCA on Friday to let them know 2 kittens were trapped in a car bonnet. They could not attend due to staff shortages - fine. We rescued the kittens late in the evening and brought them into the warm (fell in love with them). The RSPCA turned up Monday morning and took the kittens away. Then charged us £100 each for them back even though they were booked in at the local vet for Monday afternoon.

I recently adopted a dog from the RSPCA, I am disappointed as I was given little details and insight into the dogs previous behaviour and characteristics. After having him for 2 weeks I now know I cannot provide the appropriate living conditions that this dog needs, more knowledge beforehand would have been gratefully appreciative.

Sadly rang them twice today reporting that a pigeon was outside of my shop looking unwell and wasn’t able to fly or react and they said they’d would come to get the pigeon and simply never turned up. It has to do with humanity and I get that but If you simply don’t care at least let people know you can’t be bothered to do your job.
