Just a little update on the amersham horses which the rspca took..

Thank you for the info and the link.

I looked a bit further and ended up doing a Retirement questionnaire...

So did I but found that it was very badly designed and required answers to 'if you answered yes' questions, even though I had answered 'no' ,or the other way round. I also could not find out which was the verificatrion number and therfore was unable to submit my response. None of this improved my opinion of the RSPCA unfortunately.
 
Right they take and care for 67 of the 100 or so horses seized at amersham, plus the foals born, they pay for the court case, the veterinary bills, feed, care etc etc etc but because they have a link on their website that may not work on some peoples computers depending on downloads etc, you have a negative opinion of them!!! Goodness me, some people can't see the wood for the trees!!

I think you mis-read my post. I had no trouble accessing the survey through the link.
I was commenting on the quality of the retirement survey and the fact that its design appeared to be leading to skewed statistics, as questions which had already been answered definitively required elaboration. This would skew any statistics. My poor opinion of the RSPCA arises in part from its politicisation and links to organisations which use false statistics and in part from personal experience of their response to calls about animals in need of help (both wild and domestic). If you would like further details about the questions which I consider to be flawed, please feel free to PM me.
I should add that in the original appeal, the fact that the only other rescue organisation mentioned was Redwings, in spite of the fact that there were other charities involved in the rescue and rehabilitation of the Amersham horses, jarred a little.

The update is about the 67 horses the rspca took on which some have gone onto redwings, it is not giving any update on the horses which went to other charities.

Sorry if i misread your reply about quality of the questions as opposed to access to it... I can't actually access it on my computer!!! But that aside it doesn't alter the fact of what they have done in taking on these horses and what they achieve.
