opps me that's outrageous. I've always been a giver to animal charities. I recently got another woofer from rescue. The charity were made up I gave them some money for the the up keep of the next dog in as mine left with me. I will stick to the smaller charities from now on. I happen to know the charity our woofer is from is run on a shoe string and the lady behind it works so hard to find new dogs and save them from the pound (7 days grace then put to sleep) I will not be giving anymore money to the RSPCA. I hope one of the assholes which run it read this. I am beside myself with rage. I even had plans to leave money in my will to them but they can go blow that up there own arses now. I'm bloody mad >:( >:(

The article explains why. He left a "wish" that it would be undisturbed .. not a legal "demand".
Put simply, he wrote his will badly. If he had written it better then they could not have gone against his wishes.
You can argue the moral point that they should have still obeyed his wishes for as long as you like, but legally they have the right to do as they did.

but its not in the spirit of the gift.
or with thir stated aims

I wonder if those photos are actually from that site.
Furthermore, perhaps with that kind of money the RSPCA could do more elsewhere for the good of wildlife, rather than have qtr of an acre sitting there in that location. Of course, yet again, the article is written in such a way not to even consider that fact - cos it wants to make you angry, which in many cases I guess has.

1/4 of an acre is not much, but in an urban area it will help all wildlife a lot. Where I work there is a drainage ditch running behind our unit and between the houses going down down the road. The width of the land varies between 40 to 60 feet and is about about 1/3 mile long. It is a nature corridor in the middle of endless housing and units. I regularly go out there to look at the birds etc. We have a couple of nesting Jays, and some of those tiny tiny birds, can't think what there called at the moment. There is also foxes and rats in this corridor, Rats that live in the nature corridor not off the back of Man. I love to look at nature but I openly admit I know little about it, except that if left alone it will thrive.
