RSPCA subverting the criminal process for own political ends?

[RunToEarth]

I read this briefing today and thought I would share for anyone else who finds it interesting. (page 5 in case it hasn't opened on the correct page)

I think in essence the thought of spending large sums of RSPCA money on prosecuting people committing crimes which are, in the eyes of our legal system "somewhere between dropping litter and failing to pay their TV licence" does not appeal to me, as I don't feel it is within the charity's remit to become so embroiled in political stance.

Cos of course 'Field Talk' wouldn't be remotely biased, would it ?

The article is written by the defence solicitor for the Huntsman being prosecuted under the Hunting Act - I would think a fart on a stick could guess whose point of view it was written from...

R_T_E,

the Crown Prosecution Service, as part of their remit will always consider the question of public interest, or the defence of the public and the simple question of justice. The rspca are only really interested in using these cases as fund raising efforts, and as the report quite clearly states, there was no welfare issue for any animal, so how the rspca could justify such prosecution, is a mystery. The problem, of course, is that the £4.2k that they were out of pocket, would have been repaid tenfold by supporting donations. They view such cases as win-win!

How the rspca, as a charity with an admitted and separate agenda could have been given the authority to carry out such prosecutions, when the purpose of the CPS, and it's funded purpose, is for just that purpose, should be a mystery to all.

The rspca carry the stigma of sinister behaviour and conduct, and just as history has repulsed those with evil intent and who've been fraudulently appointed, so should this selection of charlatans be publicly exposed.

Alec.
