It is, but I always believe there's so much more to stories like this.

Indeed, but the RSPCA don't have the greatest reputation currently do they and it does make you wonder...

We all know that ALL animal charities have no option but to put healthy animals to sleep.Some areas only keep strays for 7 days before they are put to sleep.So if your own pet was stolen then dumped in one of these areas,it could end up loosing it's life if not micro chipped. Sadly,I think the lady concerned had other issues,so think it unfair to lay the blame at the r.s.p.c.a.s door. Such publicity won't help the charity or the animals they try to help.

‘She was desperate to avoid killing animals, particularly healthy ones,’ says the friend. ‘At times, she re-homed them with other animal welfare organisations, rather than follow strict RSPCA procedures she felt would eventually lead to them being put down.’ ‘The RSPCA … see every case as a chance to prosecute, to generate publicity for themselves,’ she said about the case. Her career came to an end after she was reprimanded for the theft of a tortoise, which she claimed to have taken home for safekeeping.' 'But she was required to sign a ‘gagging clause’ to prevent her publicly discussing her time at the charity. She allegedly declined, hoping to bring what she saw as the organisation’s deficiencies to a wider audience. That process began in December, when she gave the interview to The Mail on Sunday.'
