Consultation on Wildlife Crime Investigative Powers for the SSPCA
Quoted post
Guest |
#5 52014-06-24 21:27From the times I've been involved with the SSPCA they have been very professional and carried out the investigations to a high standard. I'm all for them getting increased powers to investigate wildlife crime. This petition seems to stem from a disgruntled person who has been prosecuted by the SSPCA. From another law enforcement official. |

#9 Re: 52014-07-03 06:42:17I have never been prosecuted by the SSPCA, but have witnessed firsthand the lies and the bullying tactics employed. I am sure there are some working for the charity who really believe the make a difference to some animals lives for the better but in the main it is target driven for prosecutions. Unfortunately it is some of the female inspectors who are the worst bullies and have little or no knowledge about what they are investigating. No interest in the people connected with the animals just get a case to court. So many cases have been lost by the SSPCA and many animals returned which shows they should never have been taken in the first place. An animal died and another was badly injured while in their 'care' and the owners have not been notified even though the animal has not been signed over. How can this be justified? There needs to be an independent body there to investigate the SSPCA. That should be the case now not when they are given even more powers. They are responsible to no-one and investigate complaints internally. You know what used to happen when that was the case with the Police?? |

#10 Re: 52014-07-03 06:47:48The Police have highly trained wildlife Officers. They are the ones who should continue to investigate wildlife crime not people who have no appropriate trainiing for the job they do now. how can they cope professionally with further powers. Oops I forgot they are not a profession they are a Charity |

#11 Re: 52014-07-07 02:53:23Not true at all, and a highly offensive assertion. The SSPCA are target-driven and rewarded per prosecution a system that is ripe for corruption and abuse (this is not hyperbole, but an ascertainable fact). They are not legally-trained nor always officially-trained in the care of specific animals that they are aiming to 'assess'. As a charity I'm all for animal welfare, but the lines are far too blurred as it is. More powers without appropriate training and reform are dangerous. I'm extremely worried based on the experiences of LAW-ABIDING, compassionate and well-educated people- both people I am acquainted with and people whose stories I've learned about through social media. It seems that nobody is safe, let alone the actual animals by the time they've been put through the system by, often completely inexperienced, persons who should be guarding their welfare. |

#14 Re: 52014-11-12 18:30:12She's a disgruntled busy body with nothing more to do with her time. She has no formal animal care qualifications nor legal qualifications. In fact, she's a danger to most animals in need of protection. You should read her facebook page where she advises people to sell their animals to friends if they are banned from keeping them. Ridiculous and dangerous advice. The SSPCA should have more powers not less to allow them to deal swiftly and effectively with abuse of animals. The courts should also have tougher sentencing. |
