RSPCA putting down healthy dogs
Discussion
I know I take the risk of starting a sh*tstorm on this, but hey-ho....
I thought that the RSPCA had changed their stance and said they would no longer put down a healthy dog.... now I know it is the daily wail, but even so....

I know there will always be cases, but when you are touting for business from legacies, etc, the least you can do is be honest!!

This is old news for anyone who works in animal welfare, and some members of the public. The more people who are enlightened the better.
The RSPCA is no longer a charity which cares about animal welfare, it's just another greedy, money-grabbing business. I'd advise anyone with a sick, injured or unwanted animal to keep it out of the clutches of the RSPCA.

Local RSPCA are not the same as the national charity (local RSPCA are not even funded by the national charity) - the national lot are more concerned with stopping toffs fox hunting than actually caring for animals.The RSPCA is no longer a charity which cares about animal welfare, it's just another greedy, money-grabbing business.

I know.RSPCA HQ gets richer and richer from donations, bequeaths and the like, choosing to spend the money frivolously.
The individual rescue centres are left to struggle on their own financially, but it is them who follow policies and procedures meaning healthy animals are PTS. So they don't deserve support either, IMO. There are many other charities who won't PTS an animal just because it isn't cute or young enough to be rehomed immediately. There is just no excuse for the RSPCA.
The sooner the whole 'charity' shrivels up and dies the better.
