1. The SPCA knew of Lapointe's mill for 10 years
2. According to reports, the SPCA never let the dogs out of their cells and into normal,
unstressful, family environments before "assessing" them
3. The SPCA never spayed or neutered any of these dogs in an attempt toreduce stress levels by reducing hormone levels
4. The SPCA still has not asked for legislation to prevent puppy mills like Gaston Lapointe's
5. The SPCA let Lapointe take a mother and pups, and his 12 year old original breeding stock male dog with him to Quebec, where he will most certainly set up another breeding operation
