RSPCA: Animal cruelty growing but 100% conviction rate

The RSPCA has had a 100% success rate for its prosecutions after facing a "growing animal cruelty crisis".

The animal charity said there were 297 convictions last year in Wales, a rise of 20%, following an increase in the number of animal welfare cases reported.

RSPCA Cymru's Steve Carter said workers faced "immense demands".

The charity said the economic downturn was probably still partly to blame with some people unable to look after pets.

The 100% conviction rate was up from 97.8%.

Mr Carter said it demonstrated "how robust our investigative process is".

The number of animals rescued or collected also more than doubled, which the charity says is more positive.

I am not sure what to think about this article as I read too many negative stories about the RSPCA not coming out when called.
