What’s the common thread in these extraordinary omissions and commissions? Power. It will take on the little guys: the pet owners and smallholders mistreating one or a few animals. But it won’t touch the people doing it on an industrial scale.

Isn't that the purpose of most state institutions? Screw the little man, turn the blind eye towards the influential one.

And if you contact them regarding an injured or sick wild bird or small animal their most likely response is there isn't much to be done but to "put it out of its misery". People asking for help for young pigeons found without parents are warned NOT to contact them to save their lives.

Nail on the head! Their grotesque double standards come down to not wanting or daring to upset the big industries, so it's not about animal welfare at all, is it?

In aggregate, animals would be better off if it ceased to exist. I see the purpose of the RSPCA as being to make us feel better about ourselves. If we see someone abusing their pet, we can report it and consider ourselves a better citizen.
