Hi Kim,

Having never visited the Animal Advocates site I was suprised to receive your email.

Upon reading your email I went over to the Animal Advocates site and did a search for Boxer Rescue Canada.

I came across one post (a copy of her letter to the City of Surrey) from one of our volunteers dated Dec 31, 2005. I certainly do not see anything defamatory in her post, I see concern and questions from a committed animal lover. Perhaps I'm missing something. Text of the letter is below.

As Boxer Rescue Canada has a long history and successful relationship with the BCSPCA and other SPCA's and shelters to be arbitrarily removed from the list of approved rescues seems to be an excessive reaction to something I can't see as defamatory.

Boxer Rescue responds to SPCA allegation of defamation

You can not sue us all, and you will not win

Crown Counsel has laid multiple charges of animal cruelty against the owner/operators of Big Dog Rescue

If SPCA does follow through with their court case against AAS, truths such as this...

The public has every right to complain... if the SPCA can't take the heat they should get out of the kitchen

The SPCA's sense of 'entitlement' makes them poor partners

Twelve small rescue groups participated and we feel that the event was a tremendous success *LINK* *PIC*

Increasing use of the threat of defamation by the BC SPCA

This is distressing, unprofessional and undeserved *LINK* *PIC*

I will not be silenced from telling the truth or asking questions

The more the SPCA refuses to work with other groups the more the public will support the smaller rescue groups

What would have happened if the letter was written by an SPCA donor?

I fail completely to see the logic of how removing Boxer Rescue from the list of �approved rescues� will help the dogs that need to be helped

To do anything that would jeopardize the health and happiness of animals, because of what basically is a grudge, is wrong

It's ridiculous to see that instead of answers, Boxer Rescue Canada was stricken from the SPCA's approved list
