How bad are the RSPCA - left horse for 5 days

Yes its really shocking but unfortunately not an isolated incident. We're not really able to call ourselves a nation of animal lovers are we. Most are cared for but there is still not enough being done for those that slip through the net.

The fault lies with the owners of the animals concerned, not the RSPCA.

The dead pony was dumped on the Thursday (they left tyre marks) down a quiet country lane (footpath & Bridlepath) the RSPCA/Police/Council were phoned that day to report it.. They finally came to assess the situation/Take the pony away on the Tuesday so families/children had to walk past it all weekend!!! Thats not right!!!!!!
 
it is a shame the carcass couldnt have been removed earlier BUT it is a matter for the Environmental Health, not the RSPCA.
The person/people who dumped the dead horse are responsible, not the council, the police or the RSPCA or anyone else.
The owners and dumpers are responsible.
The authorities, ie the Environmental Health dept of the local council removed the carcass as soon as they could do so, even if it was 5 days after being reported. The local council tax payers will have paid the costs involved, the animals owners should, if possible, be traced and prosecuted and made to reimburse the local tax payers IMO
 
Removal of the dead horse really does have nothing to do with police or rspca. A dead animal is no longer suffering, it is therefore an environmental issue which the local council are responsible for. (technically fly tipping) and if the owner is traceable then they can be fined.
 
We had a problem near here last year when a dead horse washed up on the beach - it came in on one tide, washed out again and came back in on the next. I think the council eventually dealt with it after a lot of complaints, but no one really wanted to take responsibility.
 
Dead animals, unless as evidence of abuse, are nothing to do with the RSPCA. They are cleared by Environmental Health, part of your local council.
 
RSPCA might be alright for small animals although I doubt it but they are totally hopeless with horses.......useless!!

ILPH (that was) is the best to deal with horse misuse but they can't do anything about dead ones..

Three cats shut in a house after owner went to prison. RSPCA notified. Six days later we broke in and took the cats.

RSPCA said we were in the wrong and they had been feeding and watering the cats through the letter box.

They had chucked a few go cat biscuits through the letterbox but no water, if you ever put water on a go cat biscuit you'd see it swell up.

And anyway, what were the cats meant to do suck the carpet?!

Useless, completely and utterly useless people!
 
I believe if someone is sent to prison leaving animals it is the social services responsibility to ensure the animals are cared for, this is certainly the case if someone goes into hospital. The RSPCA cannot break and enter and the police very rarely will give authorisation to do so in these such cases, therefore the next of kin needs to be found or contact made with the convicted person to see if the animals are to be signed over, both of which can take time, therefore the animals have to be cared for in anyway they can be in situ.

If you broke in then you could be prosecuted for illegal entry.
