THE FIGHT TO REFORM THE BC SPCA

THE EVIDENCE OF DECADES OF SPCA WRONG-DOING COMPILED BY AAS BETWEEN 2000 AND 2002
Read the WatchDog to learn what the SPCA is still up to.

ADS - SPCA ads urge people to send them money.  AAS ads urge people to treat animals better.
ANIMAL WELFARE-ANIMAL CONTROL BUSINESS - how the SPCA has worked this for decades.
BLAME THE PUBLIC - for decades it enabled and encourage pet dumping and then blames the public for all the animal abandonment.
BEAR THE CAGED DOG - A LAWYER'S LETTER TO THE SUN
BETRAYED! - stories of dogs betrayed by the SPCA.
BREED AND SELL ANIMALS - it's called "feeding your own industry" - day job pays to kill excess animals, side job pays to breed more.
BRIGITTA MACMILLAN WRITES THE BC SPCA - a hard-working volunteer sees a lot.
CAMP, DOG EVALUATION TEST  SPCA CAMP (Companion Animal Management Program) dog behaviour evaluation test.  Who should be killing society's unwanted dogs?
BYLAWS AND CONSTITUTION
CONVICTIONS ARE INADEQUATE - NOT THE LAW - The SPCA has claimed for years that the Prevention of Cruelty to Animal Act is too inadequate for it to use.  Not true says a Vancouver lawyer.
COMMUNITY CONSULTATION PANEL - submission from Brigitta MacMillan.
DEATH CAMPS - The SPCA calls its grim penitentiary-style, bare bones facilities "shelters". What a vile corruption of a kind, decent word that is!  Some of them should be more properly be called "death camps" and the SPCA should be charged under the PCA act with cruelty to animals.
DUDLEY - AN OLD DOG AND AN OLD MAN BETRAYED
ELECTROTHANATOR - Davy also reports incidents of terrified and injured dogs being forcefully dragged into the machines which stank of burned hair and the feces of terrified dying dogs
EUTHANASIA STATISTICS - decades of quoting any old figures they wanted to.
FINANCES  - what are they spending trusting donors' money on? Fired Vancouver CEO, Douglas Hooper was making $203,000 a year.  Who else is so grossly overpaid?
GAIL MOERKERKEN and the STORY OF JAKE - just one more of hundreds of examples of SPCA "business practices"
GUIDELINES for animal care.  Just more p.r. so far.
HAVES AND HAVE-NOTS. - Pictures of SPCA "shelters" (what a corruption of a decent word that is!) are not of some third world jail. This is where pets live when they’re taken to the SPCA.  The pictures of SPCA employee vehicles show how well the SPCA treats itself to expensive hotels, huge salaries, and all the perks of a profitable business.
JEN DICKSON'S LETTER RE THE BC SPCA - and its "businesses".
KILLINGS OF THE KAMLOOPS PUPPY MILL DOGS   - The Kamloops SPCA continues to show dead dogs on its web site appealing for money.

KILL FOR CASH - Why not?  It has the tools and the trained staff and it's revenue.
LAWYER'S OPINION on whether the SPCA has been really trying to enforce the PCA Act.
LIBEL THREAT - the BC SPCA spends thousands of donator's money given to help animals to try to silence AAS' web site. THE SECOND LEGAL ASSAULT ON AAS
TELLING THE TRUTH - Will the SPCA ever understand that honesty really is the best policy?  Doesn't look like it yet.

MAPLE RIDGE - The Vancouver SPCA in Maple Ridge BC.
MAPLE RIDGE SPCA CAT CAGES PHOTO and sorry story.
"MORATORIUM ON KILLING" - more smoke and mirrors and self-serving, not animal-serving. The panicked announcement on a moratorium on killing for space; now all animals will be killed for being "sick" including those whose behaviour is not "healthy".  Same old, same old...in fancy new packaging. SURREY SPCA ON THE MORATORIUM - very revealing.
PRINCE GEORGE SPCA BREAKS RANKS - on the "moratorium", forcing the SPCA to stumble backwards, shooting itself in the foot all the way.
NEITHER ANIMAL WELFARISTS NOR ANIMAL ACTIVISTS - the SPCA claims to do animal welfare and condemns AAS for being "animal activists". They should be both - they are neither.  They are animal controllers.
ODIE - THE VICTIM OF CROWDED SPCA "SHELTERING" - Odie's eyes haunt us.  First the SPCA crushed his spirit and his body - then what did they do to him?  They insist he is alive but won't provide proof.  Watch the AAS message board for the continuing story of Odie.
ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF WHAT? - The SPCA's ads claim 100 years of caring.  About what? Not about roasted pups, Asian live-animal markets, chained dogs, and other cruelties - as least not enough to prosecute.
OPEN LETTER OF ADVICE TO THE SPCA - You can straighten up and fly right and STILL make pots of money for yourselves.
PETARAMA - The Vernon SPCA once again invites a pet store that sells puppymill pups to its fundraising event, and that's just for starters.
PITBULL KILLING
POUND CONTRACTING - how did the SPCA end up in the pound contracting business?
POUND CONTRACTS CORRUPT
PRINCE GEORGE SPCA BREAKS RANKS
PROPAGANDA - in an attempt to hang onto its pound contracts in North Vancouver and Coquitlam the SPCA distributed p.r. sheets full of mis-facts.
RACCOON DROWNING - THE "BATHTUB" LETTER AND OTHER STORIES OF SPCA EMPLOYEES
"RAISING THE BAR" ON PROSECUTIONS - What is/is not going on?  When will the SPCA start "raising the bar" on prosecutions as they said they would?
REFORMING THE BC SPCA - how it started with the AAS web site and AAS refusing to be intimidated into silence by the SPCA's big-gun lawyers
RON POLLY SPEAKS THE TRUTH ABOUT SPCA UNION CAREER-KILLERS
SEIZURE - why doesn't the SPCA seizure more neglected animals?
SLAUGHTER OF THE INNOCENTS - the SPCA kills six nice dogs and then uses the handy, one-size-fits-all excuse for killing them.
STATISTICS FOR EUTHANASIA - many contradictions in its own euthanasia figures is highly suspect.
STOPS IMPROVEMENTS TO PCA ACT - after years of telling people who asked the SPCA to help a neglected animal that there was nothing it could do because the law wasn't adequate, the SPCA stopped AAS from having a definition of neglect included in the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, telling the provincial government that the Act was already adequate and needed no improving.
STRAIGHT FROM THE HORSES... - the SPCA reveals itself in its own words.
TAKES CREDIT FROM CRESTON PAWS  Creston PAWS rescues 56 dogs chained to trees at Topaz Creek BC;   Creston PAWS does the work and pays the bills - SPCA takes the credit and the money (donations sent by outraged animal-lovers), after refusing to help the dogs for years.
TRIGGER HAPPY - the SPCA shoots animals.
UNION FIGHTS TO KEEP ITS JOBS PROVIDING "SERVICES" - But what kind of "services" are they protecting - animal welfare, or dog disposal services?
UNION TRIES TO SABOTAGE THE DISTRICT OF NORTH VANCOUVER SHELTER - the SPCA handmaiden comes out swinging...
UNLIMITED SURRENDER - THE SPCA POLICY THAT REQUIRES THOUSANDS OF ANIMALS TO BE KILLED EVERY YEAR - Unlimited surrender (intake) is the root cause of a "throw-away" culture and the necessity of having to hide all the killing which that absolutely requires.
VANCOUVER SPCA - The BC SPCA brings down the powerful and rich Vancouver Branch.
VICTORIA SPCA - the SPCA threatened to sue courageous Millie Sargent for being the one who "speaks for those who cannot speak for themselves" in Victoria. 
VOLUNTEERS AND EX-DIRECTORS SPEAK OUT - and animal lovers who have received no help from the SPCA.
