PetStreet Polls

There is a huge controversy on PetStreet about the RSPCA. The main criticism is it can be judge and jury in cases it pursues and most members of the public find it impossible to defend themselves against this £100 million organisation. What do you think?

I support the RSPCA and feel it does a good job.

The field workers are good but the executive are pursuing a different agenda.

I have no confidence in the RSPCA.
