Spring 5 Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 Hi guys Wounded if you could give me any help/advice. Had a visit from the above this afternoon, this is the story. Yesterday my wife was coming back from a walk with the dog. Went into the front garden and took his lead off at which point he charged at a cat at the back of the garden. My wife very quickly called him off, which he did, this cat then had a go at the dog. My wife was trying to shoo the cat away from the garden. It took a few minutes but eventually the cat went and she thought that was that. Today an RSPCA officer arrives with a complaint, apparently the cat now has a bad leg, needed X-rays etc with the vet saying it looks like the cat was kicked! There is no way my wife would have kicked the cat (see would kick the dog though!) There is a witness who agrees she heard my wife telling the dog off and trying to shoo the cat, however she also says she heard someone saying 'I'm going to kill that cat.' Again not something my wife would say. She is now in pieces, worried that she will lose the dogs I'd she is prosecuted but more importantly that she will lose her job because she works with children. Sorry to rumble on, hope someone is able to help. Cheers Spring Quote Link to post Share on other sites

slip lead 862 Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 Your wife was with some friends wasn't she. They could be a witness for your wife, and as they only heard a women say what she did, it's up to them to prove who said what... Case closed Quote Link to post Share on other sites

blackmaggie 3,375 Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 they have no actual proof of anything said or done your wifes word against theres you have nothing to worry about Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fenris Wolf 0 Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 Say nothing and sign nothing. Either ring Clive Rees on 07969 378750 or the SHG on 0744 99 89 411. RSPCA aim is successful prosecution. Don't give them the chance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CorkyJohn 808 Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 Tell them they're mistaken & the dog never touched the cat, no proof. Contact the police & ask them to put the incident on file with your friends statement to that affect. It will go away quickly....if RSPCA turn up politely tell them to f**k off Quote Link to post Share on other sites
socks 32,253 Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 Say nothing and sign nothing. Either ring Clive Rees on 07969 378750 or the SHG on 0744 99 89 411. RSPCA aim is successful prosecution. Don't give them the chance. SHG people are spot on they now the craic inside out ... They will sort you out with the law and the RSPCA ...however from what you have said you have nothing to worry about ... Don't let the RSPCA onto your property and don't speak to them .... THEY HAVE NO RIGHTS THEY ARE CIVILIANS ... Tell your missus to chill out and not to say something silly ... Ring the SHG guys ................ 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They are just hoping to bullshit you into responding. If they bother you again inform them that you have removed their implied right of access, consulted your solicitor and to permanently jog on.

dare 1,103 Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Wouldn't worry about it or admit to f**k all but if possible I'd always try to keep peace with neighbours. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
