Closed Remove the prosecution rights of the RSPCA

Closed on

At the moment the RSPCA abuse their position to seize and prosecute innocent and vulnerable owners of animals, leading to extortionate costs. A number of these convictions are made on the evidence of lies by the RSPCA. It is wrong for the same organisation to investigate and prosecute.

To get a fair trial of the accused it would be better for the Crown Prosecution Services to take any prosecution forward
