The BC SPCA/City of Surrey Land Deal
After decades of promises from SPCAs that it would spend some of the $20 million a year it gets in donations on improved conditions for the animals in its charge and care, promises that never materialized, we hope the proposed new BC SPCA facility in Surrey will be a huge improvement over any other SPCA branch in BC most of which are still remnants of the 19th century model.
But we hope that the agreement will not be based on the SPCA continuing to be paid to be Surrey's dog-catcher/disposer. The ethical conflict may have been obscured in the past, for many decades, but the recent cases of 'Raymond', Ed Chase's dog, and the Harris Pit Bull puppies, starkly reveals the ethical contradiction of an animal welfare society speaking for its contracts, not for its animals.
