Re: There aren't many charities I give to nowadays
"A few months ago, working from home, I noticed a car pull up outside (we live in a cul de sac). Out got 4 guys, clipboards and lanyards at the ready, and they proceeded to flashmob the street, for .... Macmillan Cancer."
We had similar for RSPCA. Only the scumbags doing this targeted little old ladies and threatened to remove their pets unless they filled in an "assessment form". A pensioner friend was almost caught out by this but they failed when asked for her bank details - she does not have a bank account!
We called Surrey police who said it is legal and not their problem. We contacted the charity who said that it is an agency and they are not legally responsible for these activities.
RSCPA has been on my shit list since this (and their brutal killing of ten rehomable GSD's in wales)
