RSPCA
British animal charity
RSPCA stands for Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, a British charity founded in 1824 to promote animal welfare.
The organization investigates abuse, rescues mistreated animals, and advocates for animal protection laws.
The RSPCA was called about the neglected dog next door.
Similar organizations exist in other Commonwealth countries.
