What kind of minds make the policy decisions like this one? What kind of people are hired to carry them out? We don't believe that this policy is animal welfare, nor that the employees (the ones that stay) are animal welfarists, or even animal lovers.

Saying this is why the SPCA is suing us in Supreme Court. At last...we will have the public forum to argue that not one SPCA policy is really animal welfare. From dog catching contracts to dispose of stray dogs, to unlimited surrender, dog sorting tests, training staff in cheap, in-house killing (using helpless animals to teach on), making animals sick in dirty cells and then killing them for getting sick, making them depressed or angry by keeping them in miserable cells and then calling killing them "compassionate", killing feral cats, staff breeding and selling, selling to anyone who pays the money, selling sick animals, killing dogs that have been "heroically saved" - after the media has moved on, giving horribly abused dogs back to puppymillers - if paid, raiding real animal welfarists and rescuers who are the competition, killing animals rather than giving them to the competition (real animal welfare and rescue groups), choosing one very injured or sick dog a month to "save" (in the media) while killing all the others that are sick (almost always made sick by the SPCA), and on and on, an endless litany of profitable anti-animal welfare.
