Animal Advocates Watchdog

I have sat on the sidelines and watched the SPCA for more years than I can name

I have to ask why the SPCA is doing things like this still? I've volunteered to fundraise for cat rescue groups over the years and every one of them would be over the moon if there were someone offering to take a sick cat and save its life, in this case, free of charge. Sure it takes some work to keep in touch and make sure the cat gets the vetting it needs, but people like this compassionate woman can be trusted. And isn't it better than killing if you really don't like killing?

I have sat on the sidelines and watched the SPCA for more years than I can name killing sick animals when there is not a speck of justification as in this case. There WAS a person who actually WANTED to save this animal but the SPCA killed it anyway. Like I say, I have heard this same damned story over and over for years. I haven't ever fundraised for the SPCA and I won't ever, not as long as I know the SPCA is doing this and I am only one person. Think of the thousands of people who have had this happen over the years and it's no wonder the SPCA is in trouble and there are so many other groups that people are turning to just as this lady will in the future.

The Ministry of Environment decided from the start that they would not want to release Helena
What is most disturbing is the SPCA's lack of explanation and communication
