Kamloops SPCA to kill 60 cats
I took a distemper cat from the infected Vernon SPCA and it didn't occur to me to kill her
And what if it were 60 dogs?
One more time - Practice what you preach SPCA *LINK*
Will 100% of the cats be killed this time?
Ho Hum, out with the old, in with the new
"Shelter, anything serving as a shield or protection from danger"
Why kill vaccinated cats?
Kamloops Daily News: SPCA forced to put down 60 cats
Who is holding a gun to their heads?
From the Brindleweb messageboard: Quarantine method is a sheet? *LINK*
40, 50, 60... and more? Excess cats are as big a pest problem in most of BC as rats and mice are
"We will not turn an animal away"- a great business slogan
A more fitting slogan could read "easy and effortless disposal"
"No Interest" - "No Service Charges" - "Easy Payment Plan" - "After Sales Service"
It seems to me that shelters which safeguard health should be one of the highest priorities
