In Response To: Bodies to the dump full of Euthanyl: killing more animals and adding poison to our water ()

The Victoria SPCA has always sent the animals it kills to the landfill. A few years ago a person was hiking and found a bunch of dead animals in a wooded area (not by the landfill). The municipality/police traced the bodies back to the disposer and the company that was transporting the dead animals was fined for dumping them. I can't remember where it was the bodies came from, it may not have been the SPCA, it may have been another pound.

It was so disgusting to know that animals are treated this way. When I tell people that is how the SPCA disposes of the animals it kills, they at first don't believe me and then are completely disgusted.

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

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
