More SPCAs need to take a interest in casual cruelty as Erika Paul of the Cowichan SPCA did. The Cowichan SPCA, under Paul, has for years been one of the few SPCAs that has consistently set a higher standard of animal welfare than most SPCAs. We know that she has had to often battle or ignore Head Office to do this.

Her refusal to kill dogs under the SPCAs testing rules is well-known.
