Kamloops SPCA to kill 60 cats

4:00 pm news story on Kamloops' Radio NL:

Jennifer Gore, Branch Manager of the Kamloops SPCA, was interviewed and stated that 60 cats will be euthanized due to yet another outbreak of "feline distemper". This is the 3rd outbreak at the Kamloops shelter this year.

The shelter will be closed until Monday for sanitizing and the public is asked to phone the shelter at 376-7722 for "solutions to their pet problems".

Jennifer Gore also indicates vaccinations and spay/neuter as a preventative measure to feline distemper.

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

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
