Once more the SPCA knows for years but waits until the dead bodies are delivered.
Just last week it was dying horses it ignored in Dawson Creek (see http://www.animaladvocates.com/cgi-bin/admin.pl/read/4826)
In 1998 AAS rescued over one hundred animals from an out-of-business pet store. They had been seized by a bailiff and were being stored in a Vancouver warehouse a few blocks from the Vancouver SPCA to be auctioned. In scorching summer heat, the animals were dying in filthy cages and water. The SPCA refused to help in any way. We watched as an SPCA inspector made trivial small-talk with the auction house owner and then turned his back on the dying animals and walked away.
AAS took everyone that the auction house felt were too sick, or not valuable enough to sell, approximately 150 birds, rodents, reptiles and even a caiman. The Rainforest Reptile Refuge in Surrey took a huge parrot and the other reptiles and AAS was still left with over 100 rodents.
