DANGEROUS DOGS
 August 28th, (News1130) As the SPCA calls for tougher dangerous dog legislation. At least one Surrey councillor is agreeing it's time to toughen up the rules to ensure public safety. Surrey City Councillor Barinder Rasode says she is ready to re-evaluate the rules surrounding dangerous dogs in light of recent dog attacks in Surrey. Rasode says she could see tougher legislation, or even a ban on certain breeds in Surrey. “If the SPCA came forward to council with a proposal we would certainly not only discuss that proposal but send it out to public consultation…and maybe a ban is what we need to look at." |

This is a Surrey Pitbull whose
suffering was not relieved by the BC SPCA. It is dogs like
this that the SPCA and the City of Surrey will subject to
"tougher legislation" to protect the public. Should the BC
SPCA be in the business of protecting the public from dogs or
protecting dogs from the public? What do you think?
Let us know, send your opinion, or your story. If you have one,
include a photo of a Pitbull or other breed that has been banned
in other jurisdictions and we will add their stories on this
page. |

Dear SPCA!
Thank you for helping animals and for doing what you do
each day.
Chaining a dog with little
or no relief is a form of cruelty and residence of BC
witness this every day. I have often phoned in worried
about a chained dog but the SPCA was only concerned
whether the animal had food, water and shelter; the
psychological trauma the animal has to go through
did/does not seem to be a concern. Why is that? Are you
not aware that these animals suffer in their minds and
soul? Surely you must be!
Sincerely, |
