Unless it’s a fox then they make them well again and release them next to a chicken farm.I thought thats what the RSPCA did with the majority of animals it take in
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.Unless it’s a fox then they make them well again and release them next to a chicken farm.

Just think about that 139, more than one a day, day in, day out.

Isn't there a similar scene in the novel "Tom Sawyer"?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.

No idea Tim, never read Tom Sawyer!Isn't there a similar scene in the novel "Tom Sawyer"?
You surprise me!No idea Tim, never read Tom Sawyer!

I didn’t pay enough attention at school and think I only learned a little reading and writing so I could send bills out.You surprise me!
I thought Tom Sawyer / Huck Finn was pretty standard childhood reading material for us folk who are now grown-up.
