What kind of education has the SPCA done??? I know of some small education programs run at the Surrey and perhaps the Vancouver SCPA..but that's it...no leaflets to go out when people adopt animals, only the Delta SPCA consistently does any kind of home checks to make sure that the dogs are going to the appropriate homes.
For any of this to work (i.e. less crowding at the SPCA), the SPCA needs to change its unlimited surrender policy, and start to make sure that ALL animals that leave the SPCA are spayed and neutered BEFORE going to a new home.
I would certainly be willing to donate to the SPCA when I know it is doing what is best for animals and not making any more excuses!
