The rescue network's email wires were burning up for several days with news of this event before the SPCA's friends at the Kamloops News made a silk purse out of a sow's ear for the SPCA after being told about this by an angry insider.

So the Champagne bottles were popping at SPCA head office over this one, but it doesn't matter. It is added to the list of bad P.R. anyway, because although many readers will believe what they read, some others will see through it for what it is - a revelation that the SPCA kills by the gross at night, and says nothing, hoping to get away with it. It is never going to again, thanks to the internet.
