"Two of Britain's animal welfare charities are involved in a fierce row over alleged cross-border poaching."
Classic comment!
Imagine the RSPCA being involved in 'poaching!
"But the SSPCA has accused its sister organisation of "intentionally" fundraising and marketing itself in Scotland, running adverts on Scottish radio stations, posting ads on Scottish newspaper websites and taking bequests from Scottish supporters.
It said some donors in Scotland had complained that the RSPCA took their money without demur, and that the RSPCA had campaigned in Scotland."
"The RSPCA insists it is innocent. "We always make every effort to exclude advertising messages reaching Scottish consumers. All Scottish donors, who contact us via RSPCA fundraising campaigns, are directed to the Scottish SPCA so that they can donate to them if they so wish," a spokeswoman said."
As far as the return of money collected from Scottish donors goes, one of the spokesmen is wrong.
The SSPCA is anoyed that the RSPCA is advertising in Scotland and sending out collectors in Scotlands main cities.
The Guardian makes no mention of these collectors - care to supply a link?
So what do you think about this, is the SSPCA right or should the RSPCA be alowed to do whatever they want?
Given that the RSPCA hasn't done anything intentionally wrong, I can't see a problem.
