Once again, AAS and its supporters urge Vancouver politicians to do something. Why isn't the SPCA with all its powers trying to do the same? There is so much the SPCA could do here: a strong educational campaign against tethering and isolating dogs, doing more to curb backyard breeding of these dogs including litter licenses.

There is no happy ending in this situation. Even if the dog is freed from this prison what family would want this dog? Pit bulls have a terrible reputation and the dog has been isolated and not socialized. A dog that is not bred for social skills and then is unsocialized by way of isolation spells disaster and there is no line up of warm, loving people to give a dog like this a home.

I think this dog would like the pleasure to not be born in the first place because the chances of this dog ending up in a caring home are slim to none. And where is the mother, the father, the siblings of this dog? I shudder to think.
And why isn't the SPCA doing more to stop this?
This is not an isolated incidence. The breeding, the selling, the isolating of these kinds of breeds of dogs goes on way, way, way too much. And the SPCA shelters are full of these dogs who have a slim chance of going to a good home.
