To insist they carry out no ad campaign's in scotland at all is very unreasonable as how can they control national media such as cable or sky channels? Or are they not going to be allowed to advertise on animal planet anymore?? Its a silly petty fight that shows them in a very bad light and a waste of money. TBH i am less inclined to give money to them now then i was before seeing this . . .

From what I have now read, they are legislated differently and have different powers.

The childrens charity Children first have the same issues with english based charities taken money innocently donated that may have been intended for Scotland.
The rspcas are much richer, rather my pennies go the the sspca centres.So no, I dont think this is negative. Its highlighting a contentious issue that needs to be resolved.

Still don't think that this warrants spending that kind of money on this campaign. Think the money could have been put to better use.
