So RSPCA refused to do anything about the problems at the time they were actually reported, but now that media attention has been put on them for that oversight, they want to "do over"? Surely some evidence of what was depicted in that article would have been evident when the RSPCA raided the property and brought the overbreeding charges? It's not likely that freezers full of dead animals would all have been conveniently empty at the precise point in time of an unannounced visit by RSPCA.

 

Public outcry at RSPCA wanting to target the whistleblower workers has damaged their reputation so badly that they are now publicly stating that any deals done with them are non-binding, and that they can still come after you at any time for "historic" breaches - especially ones that you now cannot defend due to having been put out of business.

 

I am in no way defending the actions (or inactions for that matter) of the people who ran this particular hell-hole, but seriously RSPCA, this is just covering your proverbial in the worst possible way. RSPCA had their chance to to the job properly the first time around, but decided to take a course of action that put the defendants out of business rather than to actually pursue all charges through the courts. Why should they now be able to renege on that agreement?

 

Shame RSPCA Tas... shame...
