This article is one of many that go back for decades, so there is no way that the SPCA can claim not to know that its pound contracts and its unlimited surrender policies are not animal welfare. They are animal control - the paid dog catcher - and the used pet business. This article will be one of many that AAS will use in court to support its allegations that the SPCA cannot have not known what it was doing all these fifty years of pound contracting and possibly one hundred years of unlimited surrender.

But even if no one had written the hundreds of thousands of words on this that have been written, anyone of average intelligence could have figured it out quickly. I did shortly after starting animal rescue, and I am no rocket scientist.

I saw very quickly that by taking people's unwanted animals and shuffling them for them, that I was making sure the circle of get and get-rid-of never ended. It was too easy.

It was so plain. So I stopped. The only animals that AAS rehomes are animals in desperate need, that have to be removed from where they are so that they won't suffer or die. One of those places is the SPCA.

I also saw that until the owning of dogs and the breeding of too many was controlled, and the breeding of many fighting and protection breeds was controlled, that municipalities had a civic duty to protect citizens from loose and dangerous dogs and that some of those dogs would have to be killed and I began to lobby for municipalities to do their own animal control and to stop contracting with the SPCA to be the dog catcher and killer of unwanted or dangerous dogs. Only taxpayers should pay for this, not animal lovers with their donations.

But again, it was not rocket science to see how easily an organization that got millions a year by wearing the white hat of animal welfare could corrupt by putting on the black hat of dog catching and killing. And while those organizations pose for fundraising P.R. with their arms around animals while wearing their white hats of animal welfare, the black hat of killing the excess was put on when the cameras moved away, in the thousands every year. If I could figure it out that quickly, do you believe that the SPCA didn't know exactly what it was doing?
