Perhaps the SPCA, since it won't fire her, should send Ms Chortyk to P.R. school for a crash course in the basics of how not to make your company look terrible.

And while she's there, she can take a course in basic human compassion. Why name-calling a woman dying of burns to 90% of her body because she tried to save animals' lives is a bad idea, is probably in the course somewhere.

And if there is a course in why an agency, whose financial existence depends on the public perception of animal welfare shouldn't kill animals, the whole SPCA should sign up now!
