John Vanderhoven is the same person who went on record in the Asian Pacific Post, and I quote,
"In Vancouver, it's perfectly legal to slaughter a cat or a dog for dinner". "Any animal in fact can be eaten by anyone," John Vanderhoven, the Director of the Vancouver SPCA informed the Asian Pacific Post recently, "so long as it is done humanely. Animal laws only deal with the humane treatment of animals."
Now is this a person you want running a society to protect animals?
