The second-hand infliction of cruelty to animals ought to be just as unacceptable. Does the SPCA have a policy of not serving meat or animal products at its meetings and fundraisers yet?
In the words of Sea Shepherd founder Paul Watson: "Here we have an organization supposedly dedicated to prevent¬ing cruelty actually inflicting cruelty to an animal to raise money to supposedly prevent cruelty to animals. This crab boil is being held to raise money for the prevention of cruelty to animals. How ironic is that?"
AAS has asked legitimate questions of the SPCA many times without getting an answer. In fact, we have had our emails rejected. We welcome the BC SPCA to tell us what its policy is regarding serving animal products at its meetings and fundraisers.
