What would an RSPCA officer do?

  • This activity is just one part of a range of resources addressing the needs of young people who have been involved, or who are at risk of being involved, in cruelty to animals. Our online assessment tool Developing a suitable intervention programme (Word 17KB) will help you create individualised intervention programmes from these resources.
  • This activity builds on the scenarios introduced in the activity Be an RSPCA officer in the section Who is responsible? Young people now get the opportunity to discover what sorts of legal consequences there can be if you are cruel to animals, whether it is intentional or not.
  • They will:
  1. develop the understanding that cruelty to animals has a negative impact on more than just the animals involved
  2. gain a better understanding of some of the possible legal consequences for anyone who is cruel to animals.
