Two years ago I reported a dog in Vancouver to the SPCA that was in a truck in the sun at a construction site and they flat-out denied that it was up to them and told me to phone the VPD. So I did and they came and when they couldn't find the owner right away, jimmied the door open and removed the dog. Last I saw of it was its face in the window of the cop car as it drove away. What was interesting to me was that the cops used unrepeatable language about the SPCA. From that point on I never made another donation.
