Cruelty

We campaign for changes to the law and provide education and advice to pet owners.

Some situations that may appear distressing are not against the law. In their daily work officers have to prioritise cases where the law is actually being broken.  There is an unprecedented demand on frontline staff.  More information available here

Do not contact this branch of the RSPCA to report animal cruelty as we are unable to help, you must use the two methods detailed on this page.
