Having donated hundreds of dollars to the SPCA in the past, I find it very distressing to be faced with increasing evidence that make me think it is becoming derailed from its mandate of protecting animals from cruelty. I fail completely to see the logic of how removing Boxer Rescue from the list of “approved rescues” will help the dogs that need to be helped. I truly look forward to the day when I can donate once again to the SPCA, knowing that the money will be going toward preventing cruelty to animals, rather than lawsuits that appear to be designed to bankrupt other animal protection organizations, and pointlessly vindictive removals of approved status from societies like Boxer Rescue whose volunteers dare to voice constructive criticism. I truly hope that the SPCA will come to its senses and realize that working with other animal protection groups rather than against them is the policy that will best protect its own interests. That will be the SPCA that once again will receive donations from me.
