A challenge to the SPCA Board of Directors

A challenge to the SPCA Board of Directors...

I would like to suggest that rather than spending $50,000 + donor dollars on suing AAS and posters, that this money should be placed into two separate accounts for companion animal welfare.

One account to be used specifically for spay and neuter of EVERY animal that comes into the SPCA's system, and the other account to be used for funding to hire qualified personnel in the fields of rehabilitation and training.

Without a doubt, the vast majority of SPCA donators would approve of this large sum of money being used for the purposes of animal welfare and well being, versus a long drawn out legal battle.

Gail Moerkerken, defendant

Should this case go all the way to trial it would cost the SPCA $300,000 plus and the defendants $150,000 plus
The SLAPP happy BC SPCA - $100,000 and counting?
Cheryl Dawson's letter the Times Colonist that the SPCA threatened to sue her for
Then-BC SPCA President, Michael Steven, rebuts
The SPCA did not threaten to sue Ms. Dawson, they did sue her
The SPCA..."Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals" needs to live up to its name
The idea is generally not to let the case go to court but to drain resources and effort from the financially weaker party *LINK*
What are SLAPP suits? *LINK*
BC did have anti-SLAPP legislation until the Liberals got rid of it
Dysfunctional then, dysfunctional now
I attended a meeting in Victoria around the same time
It is because of this lawsuit that I have not donated in the past few months
Lawyers don't need the money as much as animals do! I know, my husband is a lawyer
I ask that the revenues you have be spent on what the donors expect, the animals.
I would like to see more coverage in the media about this ongoing issue
Shame on you SPCA! Live up to your name!
Do something for chained dogs and your critics will turn into your greatest supporters of all
Thankfully God has given a heart for animals to many like WWF, Service Dogs, AAS, and the courage to individuals to speak out
I can't understand why a Society with the means to do so doesn't use its funds to take care of the animals, rather than target other animal groups
