Anne the elephant still with her abusers
NewsPosted by SfA Fri, April 01, 2011 11:55:38Anne the elephant who was brutally beaten by a worker at Bobby Roberts Circus recently is apparently still at the circus. See article here: http://tinyurl.com/64hg3ew
I have written to the RSPCA on behalf of scotland for Animals to ask why Anne is still with her tormenters depsite clear powers being provided by Section 18 of the Animal Health and Welfare Act 2006 for her immediate removal.
The response given to me today is completely unsatisfactory and provides no explanation as to why the RSPCA have not taken the necessary steps to confiscate Anne.
I have again written asking for a detailed reply.
the RSPCA were alerted to Anne's suffering many years ago but in 2005 claimed they were powerless to act. This was untrue then and is untrue now especially with the legislation passed 5 years ago.
If you would like to ask the RSPCA why they aren't taking action you can contact their head office here: Enqserv@... remember to also ask if they intend to seek a full prosecution for these attacks and mention if you're a donor that you will be stopping any more donations if they don't act immediately.
Cheers
John
Please note it's the RSPCA responsible for the situation not the SSPCA.
