This truly is a good question - one I don't know the answer to. I thought the answer would be clear after we returned from Kuper Island - but I came back even more confused.
SPCA Constable Erica Paul reportedly said the SPCA has tried to work with Kuper Island, as well as other reserves, to start a spay-and-neuter program, but has not succeeded. After reading what the SPCA had to say regarding their failed attempts working with Kuper Island - I was personally shocked but gratified at how we were welcomed with open arms by the community as a whole.
Not only did they accept our help, but they were thankful and appreciative of everything we had to offer and stepped up to the plate as a community to help us raise the money needed to help the communities animals get sterilized & general vet care.
