What kind of people does the SPCA hire to kill an admitted twenty-three hundred...

....helpless animals a year, some of them puppies and kittens? That's 83 animal a day.

The SPCA would like us to believe that this is limited to Prince George and that it is going in like saintly gang-busters to clean this up with a new clinic.

AAS knows that many branches in BC killed more animals a year than that, and not so long ago.

This post is about the kind of people the SPCA hired to kill masses of animals year in, year out, some for decades, some while breeding and selling more cats and dogs on the side, and while selling millions of intact animals.

If Craig Daniell and the Board of the BC SPCA had replaced the worst of the worst, we would be much more respectful and trusting of them, but far from it, these career animal-disposers were given awards and promoted.

People like Brian Nelson who said publicly that he had killed over 50,000 animals, and who said that the only good dog was a dead dog was lured away from his own dog disposing contracting business when it started to be competition for the SPCA's contracting business, and made Nelson the man in charge of the operation of 10 SPCA branches. That is the kind of person the animal disposal business hires. That is what the SPCA was for so long. And only exposing it made it change at all, though it can't change profoundly as long as it hangs onto its contracting business.

And during the at least fifty years the SPCA did this vile work, it never once tried to stop the inflow of animals to be killed. In fact, Jeff Lawson, when Manager of the North Vancouver SPCA and head of the employees CUPE local, told me that "the only way to fix the abandoned cat problem was mass euthanasia, because that's what worked with dogs." Lawson and Nelson epitomize the type of employee who the animal-killing industry employs. Lawson is still employed by the SPCA even after what should have been the final disgrace - the exposure in the Vancouver Sun of the miserable death of a stray dog, at http://www.animaladvocates.com/Watchdog/PrisonCampForAnimals.htm

There is only one rational answer to the question, Why didn't the SPCA try to reduce the number of animals it killed?

The SPCA was in the business of disposing animals for money and it made no business sense to cut off your supply of product. For pointing out the obvious, AAS is being sued.
