Raccoon meat next?
In Response To: BC SPCA Humane Education ()

From the BC SPCA's Humane Education package:
For example, you are discussing wildlife and one of the participants says he loves raccoons and when he grows up wants to keep one as a pet. The activity Keep Me Wild (in the Activities section) illustrates several reasons why keeping a wildanimal caged up as a pet is not fair to the animal and dangerous to people.

If the government allowed raccoons to be farmed for meat (and there will be a big market somewhere in the world so this is probably coming) would the SPCA take children to see a raccoon-meat farm, in the name of humane education?

By parading game farms as positive models, the SPCA is, unwittingly, joining the crusade against wildlife!
Promoting any farming without discussing alternatives is partnering in animal exploitation
