On Monday, February 17th we learned that the Tofino pup, the young dog that has been tethered most of its life, was seized by the Port Alberni SPCA. (more posts here: http://www.animaladvocates.com/cgi-bin/newsroom.pl/read/1924

Thanks to Crystal's unremitting efforts on behalf of this dog (read about Crystal here: http://www.animaladvocates.com/crystal-kerr.htm), and what appears to our hopeful eyes is the possibility of real animal welfare and real prevention of cruelty to animals by the BC SPCA, this young dog now has a chance at a real life, free of the cruelty of isolation and illness.

Our sincere thanks also go to the BC SPCA's new Manager of Cruelty Investigations, Craig Daniell, for using the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act to actually prevent cruelty. Mr Daniell has decades of actual avoidance of prevention of cruelty by the SPCA to overcome and we will be watching his career with a great deal of interest, support and gratitude.
