The Arrogance Of The Established Charity…

So, the owner of the Pink Pussy has been found, and the RSPCA forced to hand the cat back after admitting that no law had been broken.

So how come they have the nerve to announce this?
An officer from the animal charity will visit the cat's owner to give her a dressing down, offering welfare advice about the potential hazards and consequences of dyeing cats.
There’s no need for a ‘dressing down’ as she’s indicated she’s perfectly aware of the potential hazards, being careful to avoid them.

And when it comes to animal welfare, the RSPCA are in absolutely no position to attempt to hand out advice to others….

Tee hee.

As The Daily Mash said (or was it Newsarse), the three most hated people in the country are Cat Bin Woman, Stray Dog Deserter and Pink Pussy Dyer.

Jesus H Christ, as if we didn't have bigger problems.

Ah well, Pink Pussy Dyer has pretty well vindicated herself now. However, while I agree with you that the country has much bigger problems, I think the uproar about CBW & SDD is due to people feeling powerless about the corruption of postal voting, MPs expenses, lack of an ER Referendum, job losses etc but they do feel they can do something about CBW & SDD. I could be wrong but......

"Jesus H Christ, as if we didn't have bigger problems."

Indeed. Though biffo raises a good point.

"...I think the uproar about CBW & SDD is due to people feeling powerless about the corruption of postal voting, MPs expenses, lack of an ER Referendum, job losses etc but they do feel they can do something about CBW & SDD."

Good point. Also, corruption in politicians is somehow expected now. Almost normal. Animal cruelty isn't, thank heavens.

"We're in the poking the nose in era."

Exactly! Most of the charities are incapable of not doing something, even if something doesn't need to be done. They are afraid it will result in someone turning off the money tap...

Is it just me, or is there not something to be relished in the doing of something vaguely naughty in the hope that one of these legally powerless prodnoses can be induced to pay one a visit, at which point one screams, loudly and repeatedly, "fuck off!"
