AAS comment: "Mistakes" are endemic at the chaotically-run BC SPCA. The BC SPCA historically was easy to run: all animals that might be costly to rehabilitate or hard to sell were killed, no animals received any medical attention, no spaying or neutering, no vaccinations, no exercise, no socializing, no nothing but cells and then a sale to anyone who paid... or death. Now that the BC SPCA has been hit with the double whammy of fearless women using the internet, it has been forced to at least give the appearance of doing real animal welfare. But as long as it keeps its lucrative policies of unlimited surrender and pound contracts, it will not ever be able to do real animal welfare. It has chosen to keep its pet disposal business and that business is corrupting.
