RSPCA is a complete waste of time IMHO. I used to spend a lot of time rescuing injured animals, both wild and strays, carted them off to the RSPCA, only to find out they'd been destroyed. A friend of mine worked at our local RSPCA for a few months and told me that nearly all injured animals are destroyed, and not that humanely either. All they are interested in is "cute" animals which they can easily re-home (for which owners pay).
Now I take my waifs and strays direct to my vet, who is obliged to treat them gratis (albeit grudgingly). Sadly I have too many pet animals to foster any more, but do try and ask vet to send animals to a sanctuary or rescue rather than RSPCA, and do keep pestering when I take my pets to find out what has happened to the rescue ones.
I would never support the RSPCA in any way (or the Dogs Trust (FNA NCDL) - they say they never put down a healthy animal, but you can guarantee that any animal with the slightest impairment on its way to the knackers yard.
Sorry you've had such a rough time OP, but hopefully it highlights the disgusting way rescue animals are treated in this country, and helps break down the myth that "charities" like the RSPCA, the Dogs Trust and similar really care about the animals.

Rainbow - you are wrong on Dogs Trust I'm afraid, they never put a healthy dog to sleep. Can I suggest you take a trip to a Dogs Trust Rehoming Centre and speak to the staff? Just because it's a big organisation, doesn't mean that the people care any less! :mad:

Try having a look at their Sponsor A Dog campaign, which is so that people can support those dogs which they can never rehome because of behavioural/medical problems. If they were carting dogs of to the glue factory, would they be doing this???! :mad: :mad:

There must be a regulatory council for vets,like there is for the doctors?

Yes, it's the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons. You can complain to them if you're not happy with a vet.
