Here is what to do and where to write

Yes, this is just one of many investigations AAS is conducting. Here is what you can do and where you should write...

Phone your vet and ask where euthanized bodies are disposed.

Phone your SPCA and ask where euthanised bodies are disposed.

If either answers that bodies are disposed of at the landfill, write The Ministry of Water, Land and Air Protection. Point out the grave harm to the environment and to scavengers such as gulls, eagles, coyotes and bears.

In your letter to the BC SPCA, you might want to point out that there is no need for a true animal welfare organization to dispose of dead animals cheaply in bulk - if it is not running a business.

Bodies to the dump full of Euthanyl: killing more animals and adding poison to our water
Little bodies, betrayed in life and treated like garbage in death
The SPCA saves a lot of money by dumping rather than cremating because of the very substantial "bulk" savings
Society makes a distinction between commerce and welfare
At last the SPCA has provided the very public forum of the Supreme Court to establish what animal welfare is and isn't
This is NOT animal welfare: Ask the SPCA why it is still keeping dogs in "Alcatrazes for animals" *PIC*
Here is what to do and where to write
The Province - Such a practice is dangerous, says Dr. John Twidale of the B.C. Veterinary Medical Association
Please bring this to the attention of the Hon Bill Barisoff, The Minister of Water, Land and Air Protection, when you write your letter
The Victoria SPCA has always sent the animals it kills to the landfill
When I worked at the Saltspring SPCA 4 years ago
Cremation- Parksville and area.
I can assure you that landfill leachate contains much worse than a bit of Euthanyl
