It is my belief that the BC SPCA would be wiser to spend donor dollars entrusted for the animals' benefit where it rightfully belongs, rather than endeavoring to put the kibosh on Animal Advocates Society. Doesn't somebody within that agency recognize that addressing the legitimate concerns leveled by its critics would be far more prudent? The SPCA has fallen short of demonstrating leadership in the area of ”protection and promotion of animal welfare."

This lawsuit is about a business resorting to a browbeating strategy, desperately afraid of losing more revenue and hence, power.

Preferable to continuing on a downward spiral and risking additional loss of public support, why not get back on track and truly "speak for those who cannot speak for themselves."

Animal welfare, advocacy, and reform is a social movement, one that's not about to disappear.
