Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee Written evidence submitted by Charlotte Faulkner

I would like to inform you of my negative experience regarding my pets and the RSPCA. They took my pets by unlawful seizure and it took me a year of distress and fighting through the courts before the judge finally declared justice. They are abusing their status and making people think they have powers to examine your pets and take them away.

I want you to look into a charities ombudsman that can oversee a powerful charities actions. I tried complaining to them many times but got nowhere are they are self regulating, and do not listen.
