I too agree this is a bad petition unfortuantely. Had so much potential. They have no powers, thats the thing. They in my opinion should not be allowed to investigate AND prosecute that is always going to mean the investigation sides with the prosecution. I know that is kind of what the petition means, but not entirely. I don't think they should stop prosecuting, they just need to have an independant body to look over evidence, and decide if they go to court or not for a prosecution. For example if you saw on paper "16yo cat, looks a bit rough cause it is old so was forced to be pts by us despite vet saying it was actually in ok health, now we want to sue the owner for keeping a cat for 16 years in good health" you would not even dream of wasting money taking it to court.
Which brings me to my next point - how much say do vets have? I know some will put anything to sleep. But in that case, they did say it was not the worst cat they had seen at that age but it was still killed. Do vets believe the RSPCA have the power to tell them what to do?
