Johanna Thomas reveals that she isn't familiar with the SPCA when she says, "Asking a humane society to kill these animals simply because people are viewing them as problematic goes against what the SPCA stands for and what they are entrusted by the community to do."

The BC SPCA kills "problematic" animals for society all the time. It actually has $4.5 million in contracts with municipalities to do just that. And then there are all the animals that are a "problem" that the SPCA kills because they get sick, or are old, or not perfectly behaved, or too common, like black dogs and a lot of cats.

Yes, the SPCA is "entrusted" by the community to the tune of millions of dollars in donations annually, but is the trust deserved? We think the answer is, "Not yet!"
