Rejected petition RSPCA

More details

We ask the government to investigate the RSPCA's activities, especially where they infringe civil or legal rights.

We ask the government to confirm how many complaints they have received from the public regarding the RSPCA since the 4th January 2014.

Responsible department: The Attorney General’s Office

The RSPCA use "bully boy" tactics against innocent members of the public to bring prosecutions. They often infringe on citizens civil and legal rights.

They misuse funds which have been donated by members of the public specifically for animal welfare for their own political gain in bringing these often vexatious prosecutions. This petition asks that the government investigate fully the actions of the RSPCA, ensure that they are unable to prosecute anyone as that is the remit of the CPS and ensure tighter rules are in place from the charities commission to prevent registered charities from using funds for political lobbying or bringing private prosecutions.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

E-petitions cannot be used for freedom of information requests.

The Charities Commission falls under the responsibility of the Cabinet Office and the Attorney General's Office therefore has no remit over them.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
