The Editor,
The Prince George Citizen
The word NOBODY (fixes their animals) is very incorrect. I have three dogs, four cats and I’m fostering 3 cats for a rescue group. ALL of my pets and my foster cats have been spayed/neutered, vaccinated, vet checked and loved. I find it very insulting that you have included the good owners of Prince George in your statement!! Perhaps the SPCA should think a little more carefully before choosing the words it uses in its next interview.
Does the SPCA spay/neuter all the animals they adopt out PRIOR to them leaving the SPCA? I already know the answeris NO. So therefore, the SPCA falls into your category of NOBODY – the SPCA is as guilty as every owner who doesn’t spay/neuter. This pet overpopulation problem is not just caused by the citizens of Prince George – a huge part of it is because the SPCA doesn’t care enough about animals to stop the cycle of killing by spaying/neutering EVERY animal before it is adopted out to his/her new family. Maybe the SPCA should think about this LEAD BY EXAMPLE
