I have never understood this.
The Scottish SPCA is picking a fight with the Royal SPCA over who should donate. The SSPCA says that Scots should not donate to the RSPCA because they don't have a Scottish remit.
So my thought is why have an SSPCA? Why is there two almost identically named charities with the same goals serving different geographical areas? It seems to me that this is duplication of effort. Why pay the money for similar command structures? Surely this is duplicating expense and that is money not being spent on sick donkeys?

Supposing the RSPCA did absorb the SSPCA, I doubt whether it would save very much on admin. costs because it would simply mean that the old SSPCA HQ structure would have to be run as an RSPCA regional HQ (alongside the existing East, North, Wales and South East).
There are some things which the existing regional HQs share (one call centre, one legal dept etc.), but the Scottish HQ would have to keep its own legal team because of the differences in Scots and English law.
Incidentally there's also a USPCA (Northern Ireland), for much the same reason.
