AAS HARD-HITTING ADS ARE GOING TO FORCE THE BC SPCA TO STOP THE CRUELTY OF CHAINING DOGS! (ads are listed below)

The problem of chained and neglected yard dogs has reached staggering proportions in B.C., but nowhere is it worse than in the City of Vancouver where the abuse has increased hugely in the last ten years. The SPCA has ignored these profoundly suffering dogs for decades, never asking for any laws to abolish this, turning their backs on the suffering of thousands of them. Dog abusers in BC have inflicted cruelty on dogs with impunity because the BC SPCA always said there was nothing unlawful, even when the shelter was a leafless tree, even when the food and water was fouled with feces. (Read why the SPCA would behave this way: here)

In June 2001 AAS presented the City and the SPCA with our report IT'S TIME! on neglected dogs in Vancouver that included research and expert opinion on the physical and psychological suffering that neglected yard dogs suffer. Our report was called "magnificent" by Ingrid Newkirk, founder and president of PETA.

AAS is not ever going to stop fighting for these dogs. Due to our diligence in documenting their suffering, preparing reports, and running expensive ads out of our tiny budget, we have forced the monolithic BC SPCA to address this problem. Without AAS there was no hope for these dogs. Thanks to AAS, chaining dogs in BC is going to end, because we won't stop fighting until it does. Starting in 1995, we have run many ads the Sun and the Province, the Vancouver Courier, Ming Pao daily and the Korea Times.
