KILL-FOR-CASH

The SPCA will kill your pet for you for a payment. It is a side-line of their "sheltering" business. It is one of the "services" the SPCA's union employees are fiercely defending. Read more,

Yes, the SPCA will kill your perfectly healthy pet for you, no questions asked, no suggestions made as to how you might be able to keep your pet or rehome it rather than kill it. We can confirm this statement: AAS phoned every one of the Vancouver SPCA's ten "shelters", pretending to want to bring our dog in to be killed (we did the same with a cat), and asked the fee. We were told. $50 for a dog, $35 for a cat. We were not asked anything about the pet, it's age, health, or temperament. Not one employee sounded the least bit interested in trying to save the life of our pet. Not once were we urged to reconsider, to find a home for our dog or cat, or made an offer that we surrender the dog or cat to them so that they could find a new home for it.

This makes perfect business sense: the SPCA has the staff trained to euthanize and it has the euthanol; in other words it had the tools of the trade and the tradesmen to do the job, so putting this to good use earning money makes sense. But would anyone who loves animals kill healthy animals for payment and a paycheque? We know that the employees who can't accept that this is part of the job, quit - those who accept it as part of the job, stay.
