Stop The Animals Suffering, support the RSPCA

Thank you for taking an interest in my blog! I personally love animals and this subject was very important to me. I truly believe the RSPCA are worth supporting as they do critically important work for animals all over the country and in Wales. Although the RSPCA already have many wonderful supporters, they rely heavily on the public’s support and the support they receive helps them continue their amazing work.

I’m sure most people are aware of the RSPCA and the work they do, but for those who don’t: The RSPCA, the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, work all over the UK and in Wales. They (in every possible legal way) prevent cruelty, promote kindness and care for animals in any situation.

I aim to raise awareness to the work the RSPCA do and I would love to gain some support for the charity.


I thought I should share with you the story of the Amersham Horses as I feel it truly highlights the vitally important work the RSPCA, along with similar charities, do. In 2008 more than 100 horses were removed from the horrifying conditions at Spindle Farm near Amersham, Buckinghamshire. This has been names one of the most disgusting and costly animal cruelty cases ever seen. The media followed the situation from the very beginning and the public were horrified at the upsetting images of more than 100 horses suffering in squalid conditions at the horse dealer’s farm. Fortunately some of the horses made the journey from hopeless horror to a happy life with hope for the future. In one specific case on the farm, 9 live horses were being kept in a tiny little pen with two already dead horses. On the farm there were 32 dead horses and over 100 horses had to be removed. The conditions were absolutely revolting and very upsetting to learn about. It was a joint effort between related animal charities, including the RSPCA, to get horses off the farm into healthy conditions and on the road to recovery. The RSPCA took in 41 of the horses and 5 foals were later born in their care. All of them recovered and most of them were able to be re-homed. It was a disturbing case but with the work of the RSPCA and the other charities did; there was a happy ending for these horses. In total this operation cost the charities £2.3 million! All this money came from the dedicated supporters!

When you support the RSPCA you support work like this, you support the animals who are at the receiving end of the pain and you give them hope.

You don’t need to do much to make a difference. You could donate a little bit of money, volunteer at one of the shelters or charity shops, you could fundraise, join an RSPCA campaign or adopt one of the lovely animals who would love a new home.

Kindness to animals can make life better, not just for the animals, but also for people. Whatever animals mean to you- a treasured companion, a wild marvel, a working animal, or food produce- treating all living creatures with compassion has benefits for you too.

I would really appreciate it if you could please take the time to answer these questions in a comment:

• Are you now more aware of the work the RSPCA do?
• Would you now consider supporting the RSPCA if you didn’t already?
• Did you already know anything about the RSPCA?
• Could you please leave your home town/country in your comment, if you’re not in the UK
