Actually, the 'R' is only in England and Wales, not Scotland or Northern
Ireland. It's also used in Australia, I'm not sure abot Canada.

So how come they use it in Dallas, or does the R mean something else
there? I didn't realise they don't use it in Scotland or N Ireland, I
wonder why that is.

That's why I was confused, I can't imagine why the US would have the
"R"! I wish we didn't for that matter, but that's another discussion.

What does the "R" stand for?

ASPCA is just for New York City, though. Most of them are SPCA in
the USA.
