Stop police from passing animal abuse cases to RSPCA for a private prosecution.

The police should deal with the case. Such as they do with any other breach of the law. The case should not be passed over to a private charity and become a private case in the eyes of the law. In recent years there have been many cases were members of the public have had wrongful attempted prosecutions brought upon them. For example, Bob Skinner & Mr Pig in 2015. We believe it is in the best interest of the animals and the public that cases of animal abuse are dealt with by the police from start to finish. Once the case has passed into private hands, what is right and wrong becomes subjective and the lines of the law become blurred, and opinions start to overrule the facts.
