The SPCA's lawsuit has caused us to go throught a lot of old, forgotten material and it is all very usable.
In this email to an SPCA donator, who was upset that the SPCA had not prevented the death of a Dalmatian in Surrey, found frozen on the end of its chain, BC SPCA CEO, Craig Daniell accuses AAS of being hell bent on destroying the SPCA.
If we are forced to court, we will have a copy of everytime we said we do not want the SPCA to be destroyed, we only want it to do real animal welfare, and we probably have 20 -30 instances where we have said this.
We said many times, that we did not expect the SPCA to reform quickly, that it could take ten years, but we wanted to see that it was being honest so that we could trust it to reform. In my opinion, it has been even more dishonest since saying it would reform, especially in the way it is enforcing the PCA Act.
Mr Daniell's email...
First of all, we did not ignore any of the complaints with respect to the animal in question. That is an absolute lie by an organization hell bent on destroying the BC SPCA.

Secondly, since I have been with the BC SPCA we have raided and closed down more than 15 puppy mills in the province and taken into our care more than 500 animals from such situations.
Thirdly, if we euthenize an animal, which is not very often, it is done using the most humane methods of euthenasia recommended by the CVMA and the BC VMA.
I challenge you to get your facts straight.
As for deleting the Society from your will, I have to say that someone so poorly informed about the Society's work should not be donating to the Society in the first place.
