Was upset to find out that the RSPCA don?t come out for abandoned farm animals


Recommended Posts

When I recently found two baby chickens in a box outside a bin area in Peckham my first instinct was to take them home and get straight on to the RSPCA for them to collect them. But I was highly disappointed and upset to hear that they don?t come out for farm animals unless it?s a horse.


😮Never ever expected this reaction from the RSPCA, on tv they make themselves sound so good when in reality they are no help when really needed.


So what happens to farm animals dumped?

Do we walk by and ignore a living creature suffering just because it?s a farm animal and not a domestic one?

Do we countlessly struggle to raise an abandoned animal we know very little about?

Or do we hide them from our landlords until we find them a home which we hope is permanent?


What is the solution?!! Really bothers me..the one organisation you think really cares doesn?t bother.


The RSPCA need to address this problem.


LUCKILY I FOUND A LOVELY HOME FOR THE CHICKENS I FOUND

Well done for your concern and finding such a great home for these 2 little ones. Unfortunately I have found the RSPCA quite unhelpful at times, it is very upsetting. Luckily there are lots of animal lovers around and we can usually manage. Hope I don't find anything too big though..... the snake was bad enough!!!

It was only a corn snake but quite big, luckily there was an old binliner near by and I managed to flick it in. I was quite proud of myself as I'd always said to myself "hope I never find a snake!" Managed to find the owner, so happy days!

Biggin Hill, Kent. I often see them recommended with high praise on other SE Forums, so I think they must havea fairly good network, though I've not had occasion to use them myself.

it seems we are awash with abandoned snakes....

I thought chickens were being kept in urban gardens these days...put them on gumtree or somewhere

    • Hi Sue, they were not local solicitors. Andrea’s was based in Wales and the other firms involved were large nationwide conveyancing companies (rather than conventional high street solicitors). I’m happy to advise clients and buyers privately on what I believe to be their shortcomings but I don’t think doing so in public on the forum would be appropriate, particularly as they are not locally based. My general advice would always be to steer clear of the big conveyancing companies as they are, in my experience, notoriously difficult to contact when the need arises and the case handler is often not a fully qualified solicitor and so issues have to be referred upwards to “technical teams” internally, which was part of the problem in Andrea’s chain.

    • A slightly vulnerable but hopeful post… Hi everyone, I’m a guy in my mid-thirties who’s recently moved back to London and East Dulwich (I previously lived here for many years before, so I know the area well). But if I’m honest, I’ve found the return a little tough. Most of my close friends have moved out of London to start families — totally understandable — but it’s left me feeling a bit adrift and not quite sure how to make new connections again. Work has taken up a huge chunk of my life in recent years, and I’ve definitely let hobbies, interests and a proper social life fall by the wayside. I feel like I went from a fun social life in my 20’s to suddenly blinking and realising things had gone a bit er…quiet. So, I’m trying to redress the balance a bit — mainly so myself and my partner don’t murder each other 😂, and just to meet some new local faces. I was wondering: is anyone else in a similar boat? And would there be any interest in starting a relaxed, low-key local social group? Could be a casual pub meet, sports, park hangouts, live comedy nights — open to ideas!  I’m happy to do the organising/admin side of things — just wanted to put it out there and see if there’s any appetite. I’ll gauge interest and take it from there.  If you’d prefer not to reply publicly, feel free to drop me a DM.  Cheers all! 👋
