In 2002 there ARE statistics *LINK*
In Response To: The disputed statistics *LINK* ()

Mr Daniell says that the SPCA does not have euthanasia stats but in a August 2002 article in the Vancouver Courier, the SPCA seems to have them:

"Euthanasia at Vancouver SPCA shelters is down 62 per cent for cats and 26 per cent for dogs in the five months since the non-profit organization ended euthanization of animals for anything other than health reasons.

"B.C. SPCA euthanasia statistics were already among the lowest in North America when the "no-kill" policy was introduced. Of the 28,882 animals handled by the SPCA in the Lower Mainland last year, approximately 2,800-roughly 10 per cent-were euthanized, mainly for medical and temperament reasons. "

Perhaps the SPCA lost the euthanasia stats? It doesn't really matter as it just makes them up as it goes along anyway.
