@TheTomcat999 I don't think your wage is terrible but I do think your directors is - it can't be justified - no charity large salary can be because it does not make sense. Also, the people who collect money in the streets and strangle bank details off you are on a good hourly and on commision.

seems to me if the RSPCA and others stopped paying their staff ludicrous wages (plus home loans etc and other bonus) more animals would be saved and morem oney would go towards welfare.

I'm not wrong.

@sweetypie000 It is a living wage, if i include all the hours i do unpaid, im probably on minimum wage per hour. Your opinion on whether i should be doing my job should not be based on what you think i earn, but how good i am at my job. We're not going to agree on anything, so sit there with your opinion, consider doing some research and think about what we have to do day to day, usually with no thanks and just abuse, what we have to see.. and live in your dreamworld. I'll live in reality.

@TheTomcat999

"what does a top boss in a london company with 1000 staff get paid" what's that got to do with anything ? they are slimeballs usually exploiting people. The RSPCA pay scale should be minimal.

The director gets £90,000 a year - it's common fact. that's not 'well paid?'

"But similarly, you get what you pay for.. pay less, and staff quality drops." what a stinking attitude, you shouldn''t be in your role speaking that way, sad. People out there willing to do it for a living wage

@sweetypie000 ok, ive been in 15 years, and my salary is well under £20k. Managers are on way less than theyd get in the private sector.... what does a top boss in a london company with 1000 staff get paid, do you think? Not just london, anywhere... noone in the RS is well paid, noone in the RS does it for the money. We ALL work our butts off and deserve what we get paid, which is low. No charity pays its staff well. But similarly, you get what you pay for..  pay less, and staff quality drops.

@TheTomcat999 I've no doubt you care for animals but my question is how are salarys justified when every penny counts ?

sorry, but Ispeak the truth.

[TheTomcat999]

@sweetypie000 We join to help animals, we try to mend them, house them, rehome them etc... otherwise we wouldnt do the job.... you seriously dont know the truth, or realise the scale of what the RSPCA does.... you think its only the RSPCA that has to make hard decisions because of irresponsible owners who want to breed from their pets?? EVERY responsible charity of any size has to make this decision every day.. its down to bad, irresponsible, uneducated owners. NOT us.

[TheTomcat999]

@sweetypie000 Lets make something very clear then, I said we are not bound by law to do all we can to SAVE it, there is no law that says someone has to save animals, the law is regarding the prevention of suffering to animals, thats we do, no matter what the animal. If a deer is hit by a car and its legs are severed, are you seriously saying we should do all we can to sew its legs back on??? We do the best we can, for as many animals as we can.

[sweetypie000]

@TheTomcat999 well you SHOULD be bound by law to save animals. Maybe that kind of information needs to be wider spread and the public informed.

[sweetypie000]

@TheTomcat999 ok, then how do you feel about working FOR animals and your director getting £90K YEAR and they are destroying animals because they don't have the money to house / look after them ?

I wonder how much you get for a job that should be low paid and a privelege to do. How much commision do the collectors get ? how about their hourly wage -over £8 an hour.

The RSPCA are like any charity out there - paying the people too much and too little animal consideration and money spent on them

[TheTomcat999]

Well, youre totally full of crap. If it was a duck, a moorhen, a pigeon, or whatever... if it was totally without hope, yes, it would maybe put to sleep... but if i had had any doubt, whatever the breed ( i guess you mean species though), then it gets a chance. We are not a speciest organisation.... We are not bound by law to do all we can to save it either.... we do what we can, for as much as we can..... and yes, that IS me doing the rescue.
