RSPCA Company Description
The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA), founded in 1824, was the first animal protection organization in the world. Its influence has spread far beyond the UK to the establishment of similar organizations, such as the ASPCA in the US and the RSPCA in Australia. Queen Victoria became the first British monarch to serve as the society's royal patron in 1840. Today, the RSPCA operates four hospitals for animals and numerous other facilities for veterinary care and sheltering abandoned animals. Its 300-plus uniformed inspectors investigate reports of cruelty against animals and help bring prosecutions against human offenders.
