That`s what they`ve told me today. They gave me a number to ring for advice, but will probably have to contact the police, and i`m a bit reluctant to do that.Firstly, it`s most likely that they are gypsies and so nothing will get done, and secondly, i`m behind the wheel when I took the photo so chances are I would be the one in bother.
The dog is tied onto the back of that truck with very little room because of the quad bike.

I got home and contacted the RSPCA and told them if they don't get up straight away the dog will go blind
About after 1/2 hr when I got home the RSPCA were at my door saying thet could not find this dog.I went up with the inspector to show them. All they did was put a notice on the kennel for the owner to contact them

They only make a show of doing something when television cameras are about.

Yes, they also built a new head office in London, when asked why they spent so much, they claimed they needed to be seen as a central office, (or words to that effect), I think they need to be using the charity money where it belongs, on sick and abused animals, their head office could be a commercial unit almost anywhere so long as the money is used wisely.

They also spend a lot on new uniforms when a boilersuit will do when dealing with animals

I think it's channel 5, wildlife rescue? recorded during the 90's?

That show's far more about protecting animals than the RSPCA ever do. They deserve donations in comparison.

But what the hey, the RSPCA spend umpteen amounts on TV adverts, they will get the dosh.

It's the same with so many other charities, they get the publicity and spend nothing!

Look at how many 'Charities', lost money because they'd tucked it away gaining interest in the Icelandic banks? Rather than actually using it for the cause they plead millions from ordinary folk?

How so? I see a red light up front, so you were stationary at the time.

Still against the law unless you are parked with engine off, even so, think I might just take that chance and give the cop shop a ring tomorrow. Could always say I was a passenger.
