Re: Rough times for the SPCA, The Daily Special, March 31

After serving in several management capacities with BC SPCA for some 35 years, I retired last December. I am, of course, very aware of Judith Stone and have been reading and listening to her nasty, almost all unproven allegations for too long. She seems determined to damage the BC SPCA at every opportunity for reasons known only to herself. The BC SPCA is an animal welfare organization. Sadly, but realistically, that means that some animals will be euthanized -- often to avoid future animal welfare concerns.

Stone is very loud minority and the BC SPCA is doing the best it can given the circumstances. The volunteers and staff who work so hard to try to improve the lives of animals are to be commended, in these difficult times for BC SPCA and all non-profit organizations.
