Does the Kamloops SPCA have the kind of programs that the Nanaimo SPCA has? Programs like those at Nanaimo result in lots of community support and no crises of care. We will ask Jennifer Gore to send us a list of its programs and an explanation of how the Kamloops SPCA ran out of food. It may be that the BC SPCA's open admissions policy (kill animals to make room for more) has caused this crisis.

What is really wrong with the SPCA being an "open" shelter is this:

* that it requires the SPCA to kill in large numbers for reasons of logistics and expense;
*that this requires the SPCA to deceive the public about how much killing it does; (See some questionable statistics, click here;)
*that because it had the trained employees and tools to kill all the unwanted animals that are the result of being "open", it led to getting into pound contracting; (See how pound contracting corrupts, click here);
*that it required the SPCA to hire animal-killing employees who were comfortable with doing paid animal control while seming to be only doing animal welfare;
*that keeping this sham going required most of the SPCA's time, and so very little of the mandate to prevent cruelty and educate was ever achieved; in fact in the end, prevention of cruelty was discouraged (probably for being time-wasting), and education was little more than some glossy reports that could be shown when required.
