The PCA Act says that the SPCA must give an owner a chance to correct any deficiencies before seizing animals unless the animals are in critical distress (so near death, they must be euthanized). This is one more case of the SPCA flouting the law so egregiously that it almost defies belief. Not only did the SPCA not give Mr Kelley the opportunity to do what he was ordered to do, but it actually stopped him in the act.
