28 October 2004 Richmond News: Quoting BC SPCA CEO Craig Daniell: As an organization we must also take responsibility to ensure community safety by identifying offensively aggressive and dangerous animals, which pose a serious safety threat to other animals and people. The B.C. SPCA is a charity which brings many tangible and intangible benefits to the City of Richmond, including extensive humane education programming, the ability to draw on animal welfare expertise from B.C. and abroad, and our internationally recognized animal welfare assessment and rehabilitation programs.

Internationally recognized animal welfare and rehabilitation programs? Internationally recognized by the self-congratulating "animal welfare industry", a lot of inbred, self-awarding, pseudo-scientists whose research and tests are done on voiceless, powerless dogs. One of North America's leading dog behaviourists, Dr Stanley Coren, lives right here, and he said the SPCA's test is not science.

The SPCA is not going to get away with calling a spurious dog test science and animal welfare forever. The test is neither. A test to protect humans from allegedly dangerous dogs is not animal welfare. Animal welfare is rehabilitation programs for dogs, not testing and killing. Where are the rehabilitation programs Mr Daniell boasts of?
