RSPCA on Twitter

The RSPCA are trying to highten their profile.

RSCPA Hold 24-Hour Twitter Marathon To Show Public About Animal Emergencies | UK News | Sky News

surely the best way to heighten their profile is to do a good job and not just pts animals they can't make money on.

They seriously need a review of what they do and what they actualy stand for.
If you twitter you could post that for me as i would not have a clue what to do.

Re: RSPCA on Twitter

All they're doing is reporting the calls they get in...of course they'll get loads, of course there'll be some really bad sounding ones...doesn't mean they're going to do a damn thing about it....

Re: RSPCA on Twitter

Twitter is free so I don't understand how they're wasting money?
Social networking has become very powerful and twitter is one of the best ways to get a message across, especially when you can advertise it in the news.
I'm certain there work force won't have been laxed in anyway to provide this service.

Re: RSPCA on Twitter

i know from working in one of their catteries that things like this are not run by the employees they are run by volunteers. so it will not be wasting any of their money really

Re: RSPCA on Twitter

I know the majority of volunteers in the RSPCA are there for the right reasons, however, they have blotted their copy paper as far as I am concerned when they slaughtered those dogs and in my opinion there should have been an investigation into that and prosecutions to follow.

How can they seriously carry out their duties now - do the public have any respect or faith in them? I certainly do not.

It's not the healthy ones that I think people are referring to but the ones that with a little care, medication and attention could go on to enjoy life and it seems that there are so many stories of cats in that predicament being pts.

As always it is the few that spoil it for others.
