RSPCA - Advice

Unless it’s a fox then they make them well again and release them next to a chicken farm.
That is exactly what they do in Edinburgh, releasing them on the A772 outside the free range chicken farm just before Dobbies. Across the road is a chap who breeds pheasant poults, who caught them in the act, and said, just ring my bell first so I can shoot them as they come out of your van instead of shooting them while they are doing mayhem. 139 foxes shot within 300 yards of that drop off point in 3 months. One of my permissions is the neighbouring fields, and there any fox seen is removed as a favour to the chicken farmer next door. Hard enough farming free range as it is, with Bird flu, the drugs squad raiding the incubator house periodically as their chopper picks up the heat signature and perhaps suspect a different sort of weed grows there, the health inspections, and all the hard work. Seems RSPCA want to eliminate free range, and push folk to battery hens or veganism. They have lost the plot, along with the NT, RNLI and a few other bodies.
Just think about that 139, more than one a day, day in, day out.

Aye, but they're showing how good they are by releasing them 🫣
 
Or text back telling them to send the cat to Springfield USA where, says Mr Trump, it'll provide an immigrant family with a wholesome and tasty meal?

The equation looks like this: 🐱 + ✈️ = 🍲.

Go on! Do it! Be it really the RSPCA or a scam. You know you want to! Oh and do please publish the response here on SD.

My wife and daughter found a cat lying on the side of the road last Sunday while out on a dog walk .
Myself and my wife took it to the vets my
wife posted on the village residence media too . Has anyone lost a cat nothing.
Vets in the end put it to sleep , due to injuries . There was no charge to us.

I understand RSPCA and others need support . But trying to get 600 out of someone is just not on . Therefore id urge to make the vet first port of call so to speak.
 
Perhaps the head of the RSPCA could pay the £600 out of his £162,217 (in 2022) salary?

Seriously, l wouldn’t give the RSPCA the time of day if l had a suitcase full of alarm clocks. During my three years working in our police force’s Control Room l had occasion to try to call them out to several incidents. Not once did l receive anything other than a recorded message stating, “If your call is urgent, phone the police…”

Vogrie as well.
Chatting to the chicken guy and it’s well known that Edinburgh foxes are released there all the time.
 
This thread reminded me of a cartoon in a magazine (Only old members will remember it) called Punch.
Must have been a hundred years ago from memory.
Picture of a small boy and his mum, he is holding a dead cat up by the tail and says to his mum,
‘Look Mum, someone has thrown a perfectly good cat away.’
Off for me coat.

Isn't there a similar scene in the novel "Tom Sawyer"?
 
You surprise me!
I thought Tom Sawyer / Huck Finn was pretty standard childhood reading material for us folk who are now grown-up.
I didn’t pay enough attention at school and think I only learned a little reading and writing so I could send bills out. 👍😘. Ken.
