I personally don't think they should waste any more donated money on legal fees appealing against a court decision where they have lost the case.

Ilovewill...the inheritance is their estate and I suppose she would have to sell to give them part share of the farm and to me that seems a little unfair as she's done her bit for the good of animals over thirty years.
I'm not judging them Low, I think they do a great job. I just think in this instance they're not looking good in the matter, I think they would do well just to let it lie.
I do think you have to question why this woman didn't leave her daughter the money in the first place though.
I know you too well my friend, I was just explaining what I should have stated in my original answer, that they do a great job
to think i wanted to work for them when i was younger too
they have millions stashed away, spend millions on on fad campaigns and advertising, have people in suits earning shedloads, charge the elderly for a sceme where they will take their pet once they die, put down thousands of animals...especially small animals, take money from other charities...and i've not seen much of that money being spent on an animal....
this is just another case of them throwing money away that could actually go to good use...instead of trying to snatch it from a poor woman who gave her life up to help her parents. apparently her dad was abusive and her mum was scared of him...and was quite ill after he died...probably why she didn't change it.
they act like the all knowing god of all animal kind but their welfare for small animals that i have seen in their rescue centres...when a small animal makes it that far! is rubbish. if you want to support an animal charity support a local small charity...who actually do ALOT more good work and dont work on nowhere near as much money!
*rant over*
I still think the RSPCA are needed to prosecute the bad things that happen against animals. If not them, who else will do it.
they need a reshuffle..majorly
and i'm not darlo LOL
Personally, after 30 years in animal rights/rescue/rehoming etc I have nothing but contempt for the RSPCA and wouldn't give them a brass farthing - and I don't know anyone else at grass roots level that doesn't feel the same.
I haven't read beyond the headlines of this particular case but for me there is a basic principle here. Is a person entitled to leave their money etc to whatever they choose when they die?
I think that they are, it was the woman's property to dispose of as she wished and if she had wanted her relatives to have it then she would have left it to them.
I don't believe that anyone should be allowed to challenge a persons will unless there is evidence of illegality regarding the drawing up of the will.
As for whether they should appeal - that I don't know. They have enough money in the bank as it is so can well afford to chuck more of it away
Like I said Joe I don't know much about the case just have a core feeling that a persons wishes should be respected after their death.
When I make a will I think I should have a reasonable expectation that the way I want to dispose of my estate should be honoured - regardless of anyone crawling out of the woodwork to demand a share of something I worked hard for (talking in general here not specifically about this case of which I know nowt)
Anyway, besides the point. The RSPCA shouldn't be appealing this case. They have stated they have to because they're a charity but I sincerely doubt that tbh. They are just grasping.
The little I've read, the woman deserved the estate, and it sounded like her mother had been coerced by an overpowering husband.
However, it seems quite clear that the father was a bullying twat and the mother had anxiety problems. The daughter had devoted her spare time to looking after the farm, and them, for thirty years.
No, they should not appeal.
both tbh
Something not quite right about that imo .... but what do I know
Indeed Veggie!
However in this case the daughter sacrificed her own promising personal life to go back home, look after her parents, and run the farm.
We know you are now of sound mind Veggie but imagine if anything happened to you, and your kids, even the one who carried out the Kantine Putsch, discovered that you had left the lot to the Countryside alliance.
Anyway I've already told the vegkins that, should I ever forsake my vows of poverty and accumulate vast wealth, I will waste it in a most disgraceful fashion leaving them to foot my care home bills deep into their middle age
And their emigration plans won't save them from that!
