Any real animal welfarists would have got Bojangles the immediate medical procedures he needed and then found the money.

And what about the Biscuit Fund? The SPCA says all the money raised is pooled and adecision is made in 24 hours, but Bojangles was left much longer than 24 hours.

Here is the truth about the Biscuit Fund from the SPCA's own internal website. Note this: Money donated is pooled in a provincial fund. So, when donators think they are giving to one specific sick animal that is being used to raise funds, they are not.

And this, The medical and rehabilitation costs to be incurred must be reasonable, taking into account the adoptability of the animal. In other words, old and ugly need not apply.

...decisions will have to be made quickly an ad hoc committee will be struck to review each application, within 24 hours. So critical injured or ill animals can just wait in pain and suffering for as long as 24 hours because no money will be approved until this committee meets and decides. Under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, it is an offence to permit an animal to be in pain or suffering. The SPCA does this all the time of course, but now it has been codified.

In those cases where a story raises a lot of support for the Fund, the Committee will do its best to ensure that the animal featured in the story is assisted through the Fund. So, the public can be milked using a sad story, but the animal may not even get any help from the Biscuit Fund.

Dr Jamie Lawson is so very good on TV with his appealing "Just look into their eyes". Dr Lawson is responsible for training SPCA staff in in-house, cheap killing of unsellable dogs and cats, using live SPCA dogs and cats, which, just to be clear, are dead once the training is over.

The SPCA has every right to raise funds this way...if the funds are being used honestly for honest animal welfare, not just to fix its $10 million dollar deficit, to pay for more management perks, and to pay lawyers to try to silence its critics.
