After writing that letter, Ms Renios was told she could no longer volunteer at the SPCA.

Ms Renios promised in writing to the SPCA to never to go to an external party and to respect the confidential nature of the volunteer role, yet she was refused to be allowed to volunteer again.

The SPCA didn't threaten to sue Ms Renios, as it has many other critics, but it's not surprising that what happened to Ms Renios would incline most animal-loving women to keep quiet. In fact, AAS and many others in the real animal welfare network, know of countless numbers of people who have been frightened into silence.
