You have helped to destroy the one and only true, legal, legitimate and caring society able to do the job of realistic animal protection
AAS never did and still doesn't want the SPCA destroyed and we have had almost nothing to do with the loss of contracts except in North Van and Coquitlam three years ago. The SPCA has done this to itself.

ask the new operator if you can 'drop off' an animal for adoption for free
"No questions, no consequences" disposal provided the SPCA with all its free product for its used pet stores and entrenched a culture of easy disposal, guaranteeing no end to the supply of product.

Its animal care, not money.
Hard to know where to start with that one. The proof that it was all about money, not animal welfare, for fifty years, is littering the ground. It was easy to pick it up, put it together, connect all the dots, and show the proof.

The SPCA does not pay most Constables wages. The cities do...
Interesting that an SPCA employee is so ill-informed, but then we have found that the level of ignorance among SPCA employees, of animal behaviour, animal welfare, and animal ethics, is what one would expect from paid animal disposers. Municipalities pay lump sum contracts. How the SPCA uses the contract money is up to the SPCA. Some of it may or may not be paid directly to wages for SPCs (Special Provincial Constables). And now CEO Daniell has a lot of Investigators and Constables on the SPCA payroll that are not connected with any contract. That would be a good thing if they were good investigators and constables, but they are bullies.

Most vets will not give us a break...
Now why would that be? It's because vets don't trust the SPCA. It doesn't pay its bills, sometimes for a year. The SPCA also wants vets to kill healthy animals.We have asked many vets how they feel about the SPCA and have got responses from outright anger to dismissive scorn. Vets know that the SPCA does not do animal welfare. All real animal welfarists get good breaks from vets, so this is not about greedy vets, it's about the untrusted SPCA!

LAPS in Langley...your new and improved animal control service...yes they took the animal control contract from the SPCA, have trouble picking up injured animals at night...why??? I don't know...but the SPCA's night emerg staff are still doing it. Heres one more...emergencies at night. The SPCA provides emergency services all night, seven days a week, 365 days a year.
If Langley has not put 24 hour pick-up of injured animals in the contract with LAPS then that is an oversight that ought to the remedied. But in the meanwhile, the SPCA's provincial mandate to relieve distress covers everywhere 24 hours a day. What is interesting is the number of times the SPCA emergency person refuses to respond. And in Victoria, the SPCA has refused to do it even in the day.

And just one more thing...if anyone takes and dog, cat or other pet to the emergency clinics at night, the SPCA picks up the bill...
If you don't pay the bill, the SPCA makes you sign the pet over and then can kill it and frequently does. There are literally, thousands of proofs of this.

It is so saddening that this is the level of comprehension of so many who work or volunteer at the BC SPCA. Compassionate, thoughtful people leave or are driven away; people like Amanada Muir and Kristen McConnell to name two of hundreds who have told AAS that they could not make the SPCA do real animal welfare as they had hoped, and could not bear to keep trying to save lives while being prevented by hard-hearted SPCA policies and employees. It is sad because these people still have control of animal welfare and animal protection in BC.
