Abandonment is not the problem

Richmond SPCA manager, Kim Marosevich, said that the cause of the rabbit problem is irresponsible people.

The SPCA has been blaming "irresponsible people" for a long time. But how do you square the BC SPCA's business partnership with Petcetera, which sells sexually intact rabbits, with that statement? And right next door to Richmond (where rabbit rescuers are largely responsible for stopping the sales of intact rabbits by the Richmond SPCA), the Surrey SPCA is still selling them.

Abandonment is not the problem. Promoting rabbits as pets and selling intact rabbits is the problem, both of which the SPCA does.
