Sadly, after years of saying that AAS does not want to destroy the SPCA, that AAS only wants the BC SPCA to become honest and animal-serving, we have to say that we no longer hope that under the current leadership, the BC SPCA President and Board of Directors, and the current executive, CEO Craig Daniell, that honest reform is going to happen.

What a shame. The SPCA has the infrastructure, the money, the public support, and in some places still the media support.

It is the CEO that the board has chosen (and must approve of) that has caused the SPCA to be on the defensive for the first time in its long history. It is being brought to its knees and humiliated, all because this board has consistently made unwise, self-serving choices.

AAS still does not want the SPCA destroyed. But the only hope left is for the President and the CEO to be replaced by people who are more principled.
