Marcie Moriarty, the BC SPCA's Manager of Cruelty Investigations is quoted saying, "....the SPCA was prepared to destroy the animals if the pens weren't improved to make them safe."

The SPCA's only mandate is to protect animals from people, not protect people from animals. Yet here it is, admitting it did nothing to protect the tigers from their miserable lives in pens, but would have killed the tigers to protect people even though the tigers had never hurt anyone!

As astonishing as it is, that statement fits with the SPCA's multi-million dollar municipal animal control contracting business to dispose of society's unwanted animals and to kill dogs that the SPCA deems dangerous. Killing animals to protect the public is a clear ethical conflict of interest, laid bare by the SPCA's own words.
