The blame game is an old, tried-and-true SPCA tactic. While getting hundreds of thousands of animals a year from pet dumpers to sell, it blamed the resulting pet-dumping culture on all those "irresponsible" dumpers. And then it "dumped" all unsellable animals by killing them.

For fifty years it blamed the pet overpopulation problem on "irresponsible" people who didn't sterilize their pets, but it didn't even sterilize the animals that it sold. And it let its own employees and Directors breed and sell animals.

For fifty years it profited from the pet overpopulation problem in contracts to dispose of the unwanted and from free product to sell. And every so often it put out a press release about how sad pet-overpopulation is and how "irresponsible" everyone but it is.

Why bring this up again? Because this little bit of P.R. fluff shows the SPCA is still milking the blame game for all it is worth. It is still not honest.
