I AM aghast to hear that the Royal Society for the Protection of Animals (RSPCA) has given £80,000 to a committee (chaired by the Director General of the RSPCA) set up to erect an 'Animals in War' memorial in Park Lane, London.
There are hundreds of thousands of animals suffering in the UK. These animals are entitled to expect respect and help from the RSPCA. Why are their needs being subordinated to an inanimate salute to the egos of a few prestige-seeking individuals?
If the report of this donation is correct, then I hope that anyone who currently supports the RSPCA will be as appalled as I am. Maybe they will consider whether their compassion and money could be put to better use.
