CALLS FOR RSPCA TO BE ANSWERABLE TO THE CPSAnimal Owners Against Persecution ask where is the Public Interest in PROSECUTING the Mum of 4 year old following kitten tragedy ?
A MOTHER who discovered her four-year-old son had put a kitten into a microwave has been prosecuted by the RSPCA.
Cassie, a smooth-haired cat, who belonged to Claire Elizabeth Frear, 23,
Frear believed the cat had recovered sufficiently and left Cassie an hour later.
When she returned six hours later the four-month-old cat was dead, said RSPCA prosecutor Christopher Wyatt.
RSPCA inspectors and police, acting on a tip-off about the microwave incident, attended Frear’s home, but Frear was not at home.
Neighbours indicated she was at her parents’ home so inspectors went there and obtained permission to enter her property.
Mr Wyatt said that later Frear was quizzed again and she told them what had happened to Cassie. She had been upstairs at her home when she heard the kitten crying.
Racing outside to an outhouse, she found that her son had placed the animal into the microwave.
Hilary Doherty, defending, said her client’ son had mental health difficulties and was being tested for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
Frear had left him alone only briefly while she went upstairs to fetch her son some clothes for a trip to her parents.
Miss Doherty added: “She really does accept that she ought to have known the kitten was poorly and she ought to have known to take it to a vet.”
Enough is enough, let RSPCA prosecutions be handled by an external body without any conflict of interest. The distress caused to this family far outweighs any public interest or financial contributions gained by the RSPCA from donations generated by publicity, they are proving that they care more about animals than people.

ReplyDeleteI thought that the RSPCA were there to prevent cruelty; not inflict it. what has this poor child had to go through with his mums picture splattered over the media (inc this blog) The RSPCA should be ashamed !!!
ReplyDeleteDIRTY, DISPICABLE,DISGRACEFUL, and they are a charity ! with a Royal Charter !
ReplyDeletewhat about the welfare of the little boy and his mum, i am sure the animal rights nutters know where they live, well done local paper, the little lad will have to carry what he did to the poor kitten around for the rest of his life, why should the rspca prosecute cases like this, this lot needed helping not sueing
ReplyDeletepoor mum now has a criminal record, that will help her get a job wont it, this will blight their lifes for years to come, what the hell do the rspca think they are doing, welfare my a**e

ReplyDeletepoor cat, poorer family, probably a delicacy in other countries anyway !
i was paying £5 per month to the RSPCA, Ive just cancelled the direct debit, this could easily have been my daughter and grandson. this sorry incident was not intentional and i am sure caused great distress to the family, its totally different to some thug kicking a puppy to death who should quitre rightly have the book thrown at him, RSPCA where is your common sense ????

ReplyDeleteperhaps the NSPPC should prosecute the RSPCA for child cruelty, or are they waiting in the wings to dish out some greif for the frears ! I feel sorry for the cat, but at least ITS problems are over, RSPCA need my cash, GO WHISTLE !
