Every 25 seconds someone in England and Wales dials our 24-hour cruelty line for help. We received more than 1.3 million phone calls in 2009.
We investigated 141,280 cruelty complaints, and helped thousands of other people by offering help and advice.
Not all cases are solved though, and we are asking for your help in solving some of the acts of suspected animal neglect, cruelty and abandonment that have left our inspectors without any clues as to who is responsible.
We hope that some of the cases may jog your memory and help provide the missing piece of information to help solve the case.
