Supporters of the RSPCA will no longer support you unless you take a tough stance and drop the R . This is a recent article . The Daily Telegraph source said: “Prince Charles has privately voiced his concerns about the RSPCA. He has taken a close interest in the RSPCA and what has been happening there. He wants it to be an effective animal welfare organisation, but it has become something else. It would be interesting to see how he could be a patron of an organisation with which he has had fundamental disagreements. “Charles and Camilla are very supportive of hunting and shooting; so too are Princes William and Harry. They would have to take the view that the RSPCA has moved on from its position two years ago. A lot will now depend on who becomes chief executive. That has to be critical in whether Prince Charles can ever take over the patronage.” Jim Barrington, welfare consultant for the Countryside Alliance, told Shooting Times: “We do not want the RSPCA to lose its Royal patronage, rather for it to change its direction and become worthy once more of Royal support. Recently the RSPCA has moved from an animal welfare organisation to one whose views are more representative of the animal rights movement — specifically its comments on the trial badger cull to halt the spread of bovine tuberculosis and wildlife management with dogs. “The RSPCA needs to return to its roots as a charity concerned with combating cruelty and neglect to animals. We hope this focus on the issue of Royal patronage will spur the next chief executive of the RSPCA to execute this change in direction.”
