I don't know if uk.pets.rec.misc is on Dr. Death's list of groups to suggest for removal, but it's quite likely. He has said that he has around 60 in the pipeline.
One genuine post per week is not unreasonable, as long as the spam is filterable (I haven't looked at that group, but others I've found quite easy to set up filter rules particularly when the spam only comes from a few sources).
Groups which are crossposted with others are very difficult to evaluate. In many cases there are a lot of users who only actually read one of the groups (for instance uk.people.sf.fans; I read that because it is small compared to rassf, and so the occasional crossposted thread is manageable).
