Animal Advocates Watchdog

I ask that the revenues you have be spent on what the donors expect, the animals.

BC SPCA Board Members,

I am appalled by the BC SPCA's actions in both instigating and pursuing this lawsuit against the Animal Advocates Society, in the vain hopes of silencing them.

We are constantly reminded of the limited resources of this organization when asking for improvements that would directly benefit the animals in its custody, yet there appears to be no shortage of funds for this undertaking.
I am currently fostering a rabbit from the Vancouver branch and on the SPCA form the reason given for foster is that it is "declining in adoption pens." When I questioned what that meant I was told the rabbit was under stress and would be better off removed from the current environment.

So, I ask that the revenues you have be spent on what the donors expect, the animals.

Sincerely,
Terry Roberge

Do something for chained dogs and your critics will turn into your greatest supporters of all
Thankfully God has given a heart for animals to many like WWF, Service Dogs, AAS, and the courage to individuals to speak out
I can't understand why a Society with the means to do so doesn't use its funds to take care of the animals, rather than target other animal groups
