Petition for RSPCA inquiry

As many of you will be aware, some of us are alarmed by the release into the wild of foxes which have been hand reared or rescued in towns and meet desperate ends when released in the countryside. They can only survive by killing poultry or lambs etc so are a real threat to our livelyhood. Nevertheless, most people I know are sickened when they have to shoot them. And those shot ARE the lucky ones- the rest die of slow starvation.
There are other issues where the RSPCA behaves above the law and not always in the best interests of the animals. We recently had a run-in with them over an issue on our farm, which had we followed the Freedom Food inspector's instuctions could have caused the death of hundreds, perhaps even thousands, of birds. We stood our ground and did get an apology but a less experienced producer might have been less willing to argue.
The attached petition asking for greater scrutiny of what this institution is doing. I hope some of you will sign it.
