The SPCA has been lavish with the right words for 50 years but until it takes action, this is no more than another example of the SPCA protecting itself, not chained dogs.
The SPCA may be simply reacting to AAS's expensive newspaper ads that it does not prevent this cruelty. These two web sites are not proof that the BC SPCA is protecting chained dogs, only that some person at a branch, maybe a volunteer, maybe an actual staff member, cares.
Tiny AAS spent over $7,000 in December and January running newspaper ads all over BC about the plight of chained dogs, and this messageboard told the horrifying story of the Dalmatian found frozen on its chain. The SPCA is still choosing p.r. damage control over real action.
We strongly resent the decades of p.r. spin, the professions of action, the hand over the heart press releases, and the mountain of misleading words. The SPCA does not deserve one word of credit until it does more than put words on a web site, in a letter to the Sun, or in a press release.
Where the rubber meets the road, the SPCA's tires are madly spinning. Without action, this is just more p.r. from the BC SPCA. Only action speaks the truth.
