The SPCA repeatedly says to complainants and to the media that it can't go on reserves unless invited, and everyone believes them!

It can't do animal control unless contracted to. But to say it can't go on reserves to investigate crime is just a flat out lie.

Would anyone believe the RCMP if they said it can't go on a reserve to investigate a reported crime? No? Then how come everyone believes the SPCA when it says the same?

AAS knew this long ago, but just to be able to quote an "authority" we spoke to Native lawyer, Linda Locke, who, when we told her what the SPCA says, replied in a forthright way, "That is B.S.! Of course they can"

Linda Locke is the Native lawyer that the SPCA paid an unknown sum to, to write recommedations on what to do about over-population on BC reserves. The SPCA had been granted $23,500 from a U.S. foundation for this purpose.

Locke recommended what everyone recommends: Free spay and neuter and a mobile spay/neuter van to go to reserves in BC.

The SPCA has been raising funds for a spay/neuter van for many years, maybe ten years. It may have raised ten times more than enough, but no van has ever appeared, and no accounting for the money either, at least not that the public can see.
