Requests for confidentiality will be honoured.
An integral part of the operation of any welfare monitoring scheme is the informed casual observer, we welcome the factual comments of observers who feel that something was not done properly. Obviously to act we need substantiation and evidence BUT useful background comment is always valuable.
Sometimes what appears wrong is simply misinterpreted. An occasion some years ago on a film set occurred where a member of the crew reported to the RSPCA that an animal was being fed tranquilizers continually and taken off set and beaten between shots. On investigation it transpired that it was being given raisins as a treat and between shots was being allowed to enjoy noisy play in its holding cage alongside the stage where rightly non-animal staff were prohibited. DESPITE THIS THE OBSERVER WAS RIGHT TO CONFIDENTIALLY VOICE THEIR CONCERN
