The good news is that the Animal Welfare Act brought in this year seems to be improving things for the RSPCA by allowing inspectors to intervene at an earlier stage.
There were 122,454 complaints investigated during 2006, up 10.5 per cent from the previous year.
Rescues rose to 164,110, up 7.6 per cent, and verbal warnings went up 10 per cent to 4,222.
But convictions dropped by 20 per cent to 1,647.
