with a verbal warning"

I'm sure they'll stay awake at night worrying ... just who do the RSPCA think they are? To go around warning (and by implication, making threats) against members of the public?

"Private prosecutions The RSPCA has no special powers to help it do this. Everyone in England and Wales has the right to bring a private prosecution against someone who they believe has committed an offence. This right exists in common law and is preserved by section 6(1) of the Prosecution of Offences Act

1985. The Law Commission reporting in 1998 said, "The right of private prosecution is an important element in the rule of law".

In 2007, out of 137,245 complaints of cruelty investigated, 1,860 cases were reported by our inspectors to the prosecutions department of the RSPCA. This resulted in the conviction of 1,104 defendants, and 861 orders banning people from keeping animals.

In 97.2% of cases heard by the courts in 2007, the RSPCA achieved a successful result. "

Good bit of meat on one of them, few quids worth of snakeskin too

I remember doing a hash [1] run near Pangandaran [2] some years ago and we crossed a stream with a 4m python swimming in it. Sat down in a small cafe for a quick beer and told the locals. 15 minutes later, it was on our table and they tried negotiating a price for the skin

enterprising bunch they were

Is one of them named "Adam"?

Oy! I'll get my cat to come round and beat you up. Or to hang around, stinking, farting, snoring, belching, shedding and moaning which is what she's really good at.

I had a buddy in the navy at a submarine base, who was an authority on birds of prey. He was used by the RSPCA etc to nurse injured and abused birds back to health. He even had dispensation to keep an Eagle Owl, a Barn Owl and a Kestrel at the base and he used to take them around schools in the Gosport area.

He also had a fairly large facility in the garden of his home in the Chatham area, his wife looked after them during the week. One sunny weekend he put all of his birds out on the rail, on Jessies, then sat on his patio, relaxing and having a cup of coffee. He suddenly became aware of the next door neighbours cat sneaking under the rail, in an attempt to snaffle a Kestrel. Unfortunately, before he could get down there, an Eagle Owl, under which the cat was stalking, put one claw down and crushed the cats head and was tearing it apart by the time he arrived. In something of a quandry, he rushed down and removed the dead cat, put it in his shed until he decided what action to take. About half hour later the neighbour came out calling the cat, my buddy didn't have the heart to tell them what had happened, so I believe he just fed it to the birds later on.

Yebbut what about all the python poo?

A case of "I know an old lady who swallowed a fly..." methinks...

That would stop them from kicking the football over the fence:)

I like the bit in here

that says the owner of a pet is legally obliged to care for their pet properly "by providing the abilitly to express normal behaviour". The python was only following RSPCA guidelines.

There used to be a 'bird place' (some years ago now) at Stagsden that had an eagle owl escape. The local news item warned against going out at night with a pale hat on as the bird's talons could pierce a man's skull (I had a GF like that).

Absolutely not - it still had lumps of raw flesh on

It needed curing, hardly a job for my servant ...

Excellent! I'm sure a python would do well in my garden with a plentiful supply of cats.
