STOP the Repeal of RSPCA right to Prosecute
The Department for Environment Food & Rural Affairs want to repeal the RSPCA's right to prosecute in private animal abuse cases because Government say doing so is a conflict of interest with their campaigning and fund-raising
Why is this important?
The Department for Environment Food & Rural Affairs want to repeal the RSPCA's right to prosecute in private animal abuse cases because Government say doing so is a conflict of interest with their campaigning and fund-raising this is not the case and is just a cover to pass this through Parliament.
If our Government was so concerned with the rise in animal abuses they would invest in the RSPCA to bring about more prosecutions so that RSPCA would not need to spend so much time and resources in campaigning and fund-raising to bring animal abuses to the forefront.
I strongly suspect this repeal is to protect huntsmen from prosecution in fox hunting and other blood sports that is banned as it is a well known fact that Government want this important animal protection act repealed.
This must not be left to the Crown Prosecution Service to bring about animal abuse cases as those cases will be eroded in favour of more important human criminality and given the pressure the CPS is already under it is right that the RSPCA has this right as the RSPCA around the world does and besides the Police Force have enough to deal with as it is whilst under immense cuts to services themselves.
At a time when hunting and various other forms of abuse is on the rise not only in the UK but around the world this is not the time to relax such powers if anything they should be enhanced given that animals have just as much right to live on this planet free from harm and suffering as we humans do.
