Makes you wonder why these animal places exist if they have to get permission to do anything..it would be so much better if they had full power like the cops do ( as in the US). I have made cruelty complaints to the RSPCA just to go on deaf ears..

Enough is enough something HAS to change, RSPCA Inspectors need greater power. My neighbour (Jon Citizen for arguments sake) has 3 domestic rabbits: mother, father, daughter & is breeding them to sell to a local pet shop. They live in putrid squalor, forced to eat & sleep in their own faeces along with maggots, cockroaches, mosquitoes, & blow flies with no bedding.

A new litter of five babies 10 days ago, the last one died today due to mistreatment & neglect from Jon. His dog, a Jack Russell emaciated with fleas, mange, worms & a severe skin disorder; bleeding from the constant scratching and biting to relieve the itching along her back and tail. Managed to get five young surrendered on Thursday (3 disappeared the night before?). Inspectors keep telling me “there is nothing we can do legally.” NOT GOOD ENOUGH PRIME MINISTER – FIX IT, NOW!

What about the racehorses that don't make the cut for the Melbourne Cup? www.youtube.com "Wastage" Why did my heart get broken today? Because I saw the fear, the sadness, the cruelty in these poor horses eyes before an evil human blew it away. Injured, not good for anything that we want them to be good for..This is a cause just like any other..I don't know why the RSPCA thinks this is ok? They are slaughtered for meat overseas..They are horses pets..not a wastage..RSPCA is against cruelty?...

That is just as cruel as the animals getting exported Alive..It's Wrong, Sold for $70 to get killed..how many people would love and care for a horse for $70...and they range from colts, and up..
