BC SPCA Sets Record Straight in Response to False Accusations (SPCA Press Release from June 7/04)

Daniell said it is totally irresponsible for individuals to attack the SPCA without getting their facts straight. "We rely almost completely on public donations to care for abused, injured, sick and homeless animals. When this kind of misinformation is spread through the media, it hurts donations, and ultimately, hurts the animals."

Comment: Mr.Daniell is quite correct, and I'm sure the misinformation that has been spread BY THE SPCA through the media about Cheech the dog, will ultimately hurt donations. Not to mention whatever shred of credibility the SPCA might have had left.
