First Craig Daniell says the SPCA has no euthanasia statistics, then he says BC SPCA has one of the lowest rates in North America
Some assistance for Mr Daniell's euthanasia count
At least it's not 75,000 a year anymore
Lorie Chortyk can help Daniell with his body count: According to her the SPCA only kills 1% of dogs
Today the BCSPCA employees over 30 administrative and provincial staff and yet they're suddenly too busy and overworked to provide these stats to their members and the public?
For the public: others should bear responsibility. For real: the SPCA kills instead of accepting offers from rescue
The rescue community has extended our hand multiple times to help the animals and sadly the SPCA refuses
