Globe and Mail, March 2, 2005, The head of the RCMP public complaints commission, Shirley Heafey, "This lack of police accountability is dangerous in a democracy, putting the rights of citizens at risk.

The lack of SPCA accountability is far more serious than of the RCMP. There is none at the BC SPCA. And that has definitely put the rights of BC citizens at risk. In fact, it has ruined many of them, to say nothing of the animals that have suffered and died because there is no accountability.
