Rescuers all over BC have been terrified into silence by the SPCA's threat that animals will be killed if the rescuers don't take the animals the it doesn't want; animals that are "excess" or unsellable unless a lot of time and money are spent on them. The $20 million plus a year SPCA offloads the expenses for many animals onto the impoverished little rescue groups. AAS has paid many thousands of dollars to help with these honest rescuers' vet bills. The animal-loving public needs to know this because the SPCA isn't telling them.
