From the Brindleweb messageboard: Jeannine [Woodward, Manager of the Prince George SPCA] said they have been crazy busy with incoming animals. Every hour there have been people dumping, literally boxes of puppies & kittens and adult animals on the edge of their property.
The SPCA has always justified all the killing it does by saying, "There are more animals than homes for them". That is one of the true things the SPCA said. And that has not changed. All the pet-shuffling in the world is not a solution. Glitzy TV ads promoting pets as whimsical life-style accessories isn't the answer. Even shoveling them off the back of a truck isn't the answer. There are still just too many.
Excess puppies end up dead, most of them killed at SPCAs. Excess kittens end up feral, those that escape the SPCA.
Sure spay/neuter gets little media attention. It's a grind and there are no cheering crowds as the puppy wagon rolls in, but it is real animal welfare.
