Daughter found a small goat in a lane with its foreleg missing below the knee. Looked like an oldish injury (probably from wire) but had opened up. RSPCA when called said to leave it in road and call the police. Police not interested, which is fair enough, as goat not committing a crime. Was surprised by RSPCA reaction. Is this normal?
Vet came out promptly to look at goat that we've penned up in the lambing shed, now got to find a home for a three legged goat.

that's the A.A :scratchhead:

TBH, it’s anyone in a uniform but certainly RSPCA like to throw their weight around.

Which reminds me, this occurred yesterday….

… RSPCA are supposedly “re-educating“ Mr Zouma so he doesn’t drop kick a moggy in future

Old neighbour used to have some very wild horned Herefords just ranching over his ground. Some must of been fighting and one ended up with its eye hanging out. Owner wasn't worth contacting as he wouldn't of bothered, bossman phoned RSPCA. Weren't interested as they were farm animals and told him to ring trading standards. 🤦

They didn't last much longer. Ministry ended up there for a TB test. Couldn't get 4 of them in and they were marksman shot.

Wish the RSPCA would re-educate the fu*Ker who allowed this poor little goat to suffer. It's an old injury and the goat is not thin so someone has fed it. Any guesses what community it probably escaped from?

The rspca are a bunch of C*NTS who deserve zero time or respect and should never be pee'd on if found on fire. Horrible useless b*stards.

I don’t suppose the goat has any tags? If so, would it be beyond the skill set of Trading Standards to find out where it came from?

Long shot I know- I’d imagine that a dumped goat would be sans-tags,

this there is no one to prosecute humiliate persecute so no public hangings or top headlines won't be able to whip up a media frenzy , so no they won't be interested
We had 3 of them rock up here just after Christmas. “You’ve got cattle in a field with no water and nothing too eat.”
🤔
I denied it and told them if they could find cattle outside here then it’s news too me. I went around with them and everything was laid down in straw happy as you like. Bales everywhere, troughs full etc. Then went up too the other farm and showed them the in calf cows. Well they were away then. They could see where I’d had them out in the sunshine that morning on a little stony paddock while I scraped out and bedded up. I pointed out the cattle had been out for 2 hours while I cleaned out. They were all either laid down or at the barrier eating.
The twunts still read me the riot act! I saw my arse half way through and told them exactly what I thought of them then. They soon abandoned their holy work and disappeared! When I rang them years ago about a neighbour who’s garden backed onto a field of ours that obviously hadn’t fed his chickens for days and days they just weren’t interested!!

They are purely charity workers in fancy dress. They have no legal powers.

If they turn up on your property instruct them to leave immediately. If they refuse, you can use reasonable force to remove them, as you would any common trespasser.
