Right under their noses!
For anyone who's following the van Dongen seizure of 108 horses and cattle, the past paints an awful picture about the BCSPCA.

In Feb 1992, the uncle of the Argiculture Minister, also named John van Dongen, was charged with cruelty to animals when he allowed some horses to starve on his property, which was located right near the Langley SPCA.

Also in Feb 1992, Mark Durante was charged with cruelty to animals for starving his horses to death, on his property next to the Surrey SPCA.

In both cases the SPCA did nothing to remove the horses when they were in critical distress, in both cases the horses suffered and died while living in very close geographic proximity to the SPCA, and in both cases the BCSPCA did not even become involved until AFTER the horses were dead!

I think the public deserves to know who the Shelter Managers were at Surrey and Langley in Feb 1992. Others have asked the question, and I've yet to hear an answer, as to whether any of these incompetent people are still employed by the BCSPCA? I would also like to know if a BCSPCA employee can be charged with permitting cruelty under our PCA Act?
