…..“but no single agency can be expected to bear total responsibility for society’s homeless animals” says Daniell.
Since the BC SPCA is in fact the largest animal agency in the province I fully expect the BC SPCA to bear at least 90% of the responsibility for BC’s homeless animals. By not enforcing the PCA Act, by selling dogs and cats from their facilities without either spaying or neutering, by not ridding themselves of the “animal control” mentality that is so pervasive in many of the “shelters” (in fact, hiring/ promoting the same type of people!), by paying obscene amounts of money in the way of salaries to their CEO’s and other management positions, by failing to lobby governments to adopt breeding bylaws, and by using CAMP to kill healthy animals that might need extra help; they are in fact doing little or nothing to make British Columbia a better place for animals.
And it seems to me that they are always very quick to let on that they are the only ones WHO are responsible when it suits them – when they are looking for media attention and donations. Just to name a few of the more memorable examples of the BC SPCA’s duplicity: Failing to acknowledge that Noah’s Wish did the majority of the organization/work last year when the wildfires broke out in the interior; accepting accolades for the Topaz Creek rescue by the media when it was actually Creston PAWS that did the real work; needlessly persecuting other animal rescue groups for “adopting animals out in ill health” when in fact animals are needlessly ill and dying in cramped cages in overcrowded SPCA facilities every day.
