So few people understand that all animal killing in BC is legal, including pet animals

Billions of meat animals are killed a year, so killing animals, including pet animals has to be legal. (The SPCA relies on this to kill countless, animals a year.) The only complaint meat-eaters can logically and honestly make is the way an animal is killed: it can't be done "inhumanely"; and that is the only legal thing the SPCA can have Fawcett charged with, (but I don't believe he will be charged: there are too many skeletons in the SPCA's and Bob Fawcett's closet which could come out at trial, with an astounded and revolted media and public following every revealing word). The SPCA had many, many opportunities to save the dogs, which for reasons that might only come out at a trial, it declined to do. So all the SPCA can legally do now - after it refused to save them over and over - is to make sure that the dogs have more food, more water, and more shelter.

What so few people understand is that all animal killing in BC (as in most of the world), is ruled by these words in the PCA Act:

"The offence [of cruelty] does not apply if the distress results from an activity that is carried on in accordance with reasonable and generally accepted practices of animal management."

It is very discouraging that so many people shriek about the way pet animals are kept and killed when by eating meat they are responsible for the worst cruelty to animals on the face of the earth. Meat animals are still not as deserving of our anger and pity. And even most of those people who do complain about the way food animals live and die, keep eating them.
