Giardia is a common intestinal parasite that is as easily treatable as upper respiratory infection, which the SPCA uses as the excuse to kill thousands of cats a year (after giving the cats the condition,) or kennel cough - another good way for the SPCA to get rid of too many dogs. Proof? Just last month the Surrey SPCA killed at least six dogs with kennel cough contracted at the SPCA (disease is rife in SPCAs). They should have been treated and saved, but they weren't. But what is so revealing is that offers from rescue to save them were ignored in favour of killing them. This is the same way the SPCA has run its pet recycling business for as long as AAS can confirm, 50 years. Our web site and this messageboard is full of proof.

The SPCA said in 2001 that it would reform, but what, aside from ramping up its p.r. machine, making even more false public statements, cobbling together junk science to justify killing, using TV ad spots to sell dogs as lifestyle accessories, and selling sick animals, has it actually done?

We have seen attempts in fits and starts and stops, to take better care of the animals in its "care", but nothing lasting or expensive. What the SPCA does throw lashings of money at are head office staff, studies, consultants, p.r., and lawyers to settle its suits against the CEOs it habitually fires, and to try to silence AAS.
