Here is a petition if anyone would like to sign it's in support of the RSPCA. I know many people here are not happy with some of the thing the RSPCA does but the Tory press led by the Countryside Alliance really have it in for them at the moment and are trying everything to discredit them. Just because they had the audacity to prosecute some powerful people who thought they were above the law. If we didn't have the RSPCA this country would be a much poorer place as we'd have no one to prosecute animal abusers.
I hope this link works

I have signed, whilst the costs involved were astronomical and the fines imposed paltry by comparison I still think it was absolutely right for the prosecution to go ahead.
Questions are being raised in parliament about why the RSPCA used donated money to bring a private prosecution and there are calls for them to be investigated by the charity commission. This petition seeks to show support for the RSPCA in successfully bringing to justice those who have been cruel to wild animals.
Petitioning William Shawcross, the chairman of the Charity Commission.

still can't work out how the rspca got the bad press here!! thats how much legal costs are, if the hunt hadn't broken the law in the first place the rspca wouldn't have had to pay legal costs :Crazy:
