To get a perspective on what is happening in Hamilton you need to understand the structure of the RNZSPCA and SPCA
New Zealand structure RNZSPCA and SPCA explained ( cut and paste from the RNZSPCA web site )
The national governing body of the organisation is the National Council, elected at the AGM by representatives from the districts. Each of the 54 local SPCAs incorporates in its title the name of the district in which it operates. For example – the Waikato Branch RNZSPCA; Canterbury Branch RNZSPCA; and so on. Not all local SPCAs are “branches”. A small number are member societies, some the original ones from last century. These member societies do not use “RNZ” in their name (eg Wellington SPCA, Otago SPCA).
Each of the 54 local SPCAs runs its own affairs and handles its own finances. A voluntary committee controls the activities. The larger SPCAs have some paid staff, but most rely on unpaid personnel. Each has one or more warranted inspectors, paid or unpaid, to investigate complaints of cruelty and to enforce the Animal Welfare Act 1999.
So the structure for Waikato is
RNZSPCA- national body incorporated society
Waikato RNZSPCA incorporated society
The Waikato SPCA trust Charity Rules.pdf but these were amended to this
So why has the Waikato RNZSPCA set up a trust which represents the name of the older societies and why was this trust not incorporated for 5 years after being set up .
I have done some home work and found some more parallels with the Waikato RNZSPCA and AWINZ
In about 2000 The Waikato branch of the RNZSPCA was apparently told that the land they were on was to be rezoned and it would not be suitable to remain on the Higgins road property.
The property was sold and the proceeds of the sale and some extra were given to a newly formed unincorporated trust ( the deed of which is similar to that of AWINZ in style ) .
The council provided facilities for the SPCA to operate along side their dog and stock control officers .
The RNZSPCA Waikato gifted in $397,547.00 to the unincorporated trust in 2000 which was composed of trust deed
- The Waikato branch RNZSPCA Settlor
- Derek Clive Dalton agricultural scientist
- Gavin James Shepherd ( who I believe is the vet who contracts to the SPCA.)
- Neil Edward Wells- The man who set up AWINZ and wanted to integrate SPCA with councils
- Gwendolen Garrick ( now deceased )
A updated deed was filed Amendment Of Trust Deed which included the newly appointed trustees and two more to replace the councillor who left council and the deceased trustee
It now appears that the incorporated society is no longer a trustee and so with a stroke of the pen some $400,000 has been moved from the societies reach and into a trust which calls itself the SPCA. … dangerous stuff I can see why the natives are getting restless.
But it appears that when any one opens their mouths they too are dealt to like I was on the Auckland Air cadet trust when Neil Wells got rid of me by bad mouthing me and amending the trust deed because I sought accountability.
The Waikato SPCA has been in the news of late.. more people need to speak up there is strength in numbers
