You're going to cancel your donations based on an article in the dailymail? Really?
Jesus....
Are you saying its fake? Jesus....
In reality I suspect that the selling of the land will give more money into the dwindling funds of the RSPCA.
Yes, its killed off a habitat but all that money could help other creatures.
I stopped giving YEARS ago.

For it to instantly sway someone into canceling donations to a worthy charity suggests they had little time for that charity in the first place.
It could well be true but I'd like to see a bit more info before I decide to take the RSPB off my Christmas list.

Rspca are a bunch of arses... the amount of calls we get to the dog warden service that are the remit of those tossbags is amazing... animal welfare,,, they realy cant be arsed they are a joke.
Example? And does your dog warden service employ a local authority inspector?Charities aren't remotely fluffy when it comes to legacies. They'll fight tooth and claw to ensure they get their share of an estate.
OH is a lawyer who represents families in the case of disputed wills. He says his toughest opponents are lawyers appointed by charities.
Which all costs of course...
Moral of the story being, get wills properly drawn up.

If he wanted land left for animals then the RSPCA was a stupid choice. They don't manage nature reserves and basically their remit is to look out for the welfare of domestic animals which they care for and rehome etc. They can afford to do a lot more of this thanks to the sale of that piece of land.
He should have left the land to his local Wildlife Trust, though likely they would have turned it down as it was basically a run down garden with rubbish in it sometimes visited by badgers and foxes (like most urban gardens) and at 0.4acres probably had very limited wildlife value. Perhaps some kind of local Wildlife Group would have been a better choice.
They removed two dangerous dead oaks from the site, not splendid mature trees as the dailywail suggests (mature oak would have been protected by preservation orders).
There was clearly no badger set on the site, again the work wouldn;t have been able to go ahead if there was.
What do you folks expect the RSPCA to do with it? They have no staff who manage reserves, they have none of the knowledge to manage a nature reserve and if they had just left it alone it would not be a nature reserve (they require masses of human intervention), it would simply have been a tiny, overgrown bit of scrub land with two dangerous trees and a beacon for fly-tippers
