The Delta SPCA was the jewel in the SPCA's tarnished crown, thanks to employees like Amanda Muir and Kirsten McConnell, the only SPCA employees we have come across who had an inkling of the underlying ethics of animal welfare. And now the Delta SPCA is gone, thanks to the ethics of the CEO of the BC SPCA who wrote off the animals that the SPCA kills by calling them "collateral damage", and thanks to the Board of Directors who support the CEO. Cheech was to be collateral damage in the CEO's power struggle with the true animal welfarists at the Delta SPCA.

Because the CEO lost a needless power struggle, and turned it into a cause celebre, the media has turned on the SPCA. It was primed by the revelation of a $204,000 salary, the loss of pound contracts with the District of North Vancouver and the City of Coquitlam, by the revelations of mass killing for space at the Vancouver SPCA, the raid on Forgotten Felines, the Sun's huge article on the neglect and cruelty at the Burnaby SPCA, the Cheech Affair, as well as dozens of other smaller stores, like the vet who publicly called the SPCA liars and is suing for unpaid bills.

Abuse of power is the next bomb to go off. After decades of the SPCA refusing to use the PCA Act to stop the most horrifying cruelty to animals, the latest CEO is using the Act's gaping holes to enrich the SPCA by abusing the Act's power, and in the process, it is abusing animals and humans. In other words, since saying it would reform in November 2001, it has worsened.
