If you use Battersea's income and rehoming figures as a base for making comparisions (One Battersea Unit) something rather interesting emerges.
The RSPCA's overall animal rehoming is roughly 10 Battersea Units
On top of this we provide roughly half as many animal treatments as the PDSA
Total RSPCA income (including the branches) is roughly 10 Battersea Units and a bit more than half a PDSA unit.

So, on that basis, the rescue and law enforcement services of the Animal Welfare Officers and the education and campaigning activities are virtually thrown in free.
That rather knocks out the complaints that the RSPCA is spending money on prosecutions and campaigning instead of on practical welfare work.
If the branch volunteer network finally gave way under its workload and threw in the towel, I don't think funds could be stretched nearly as far as they are at present.
