Can or Should the BC SPCA Be Saved?

Can or should the BC SPCA be saved? That's a very important question.

In my opinion, yes, the BC SPCA SHOULD be saved. Whether or not it CAN be saved without doing a major housecleaning first is doubtful. SHOULD it be saved without first cleaning out the self-serving and the deadwood? No. It must be forced, kicking and screaming it would appear, into the light of the twenty-first century, a century where animal welfare means truly sheltering, not disposing. But the BC SPCA must hurry to catch up, or it will be done for. It must drop the ponderous chains of animal disposal and race unfettered by corruption into the new, more enlightened age that is today's real animal welfare.

CAN the BC SPCA be saved? I don't know. That is up to the BC SPCA to decide.

Can or should the BC SPCA be saved from itself?
I too wonder, like many others if the SPCA needs such a major overhaul that it perhaps can't be done
Until the management of the BC SPCA, an organization that is fuelled by donor dollars and provincial funding, is truly proactive in managing a responsible and ethical business

If Only we Could Ask Those it Claims to Speak For...
I agree wholeheartedly that a strong SPCA is what's needed. My experience with the BCSPCA goes back to approximately 1986, when I became involved with the Horse Protection Society of BC
We are really making a difference for these cats, not just sweeping the problem of abandoned cats under the carpet by killing them all
The Fraser Valley Humane Society here in Mission is piloting a programme to have all cats neutered or spayed
I personally do not believe the SPCA should be saved in it's present form
I want to know why does the SPCA keeps saying that they have this great relationship with so many dog rescue groups
Does the SPCA say that snake charming is science?
Is this just Utopia? Or can we really make it work?

AAS is often asked by people if they should discontinue donating to the SPCA *LINK* *PIC*
Being in the media, I can see that the SPCA has lost some ground
Another quote from a media person...
Shame on the System, shame on us...
Anger is a waste of energy: I only ever wanted the corruption to end: AAS successes *LINK*
If the members do actually want change then they CAN make it happen through the existing system!
