I am well aware of the lack of powers held by the rspca. It’s the police that are more of a concern. However it as much as the rspca etc can’t do much without the police, the police are usually prone to siding with them and letting you sort it out later, and getting your dog back off the rspca isn’t that easy or fun. Yer they can’t do much to you the rspca but they can do even less if they don’t know what you’re at and don’t know your exist.
I find being a loud mouth (not referring to you mate) about what we do is just daft. Who wants the hassle of having to card marked ?
