Looks like Canada SPCA is as useless as the one in the US.

Shame on you!

"[The employee] didn't advise me he was going to kill any dogs. He was
looking to find homes. I spoke to an animal behaviourist who is also a vet
and she spoke with an expert in the [United] States who said [the sled dogs]
weren't adoptable," said Drever."
[...]

"BC SPCA head of animal cruelty Marcie Moriarty said the SPCA would have
acted had it known the dogs were going to be slaughtered.

But she added it's not the SPCA's responsibility "to take on their issues
.... to suddenly make a phone call and say, 'I have 100 dogs that need
placing;' that's not an answer to their business operation's issues," said
Moriarty.


"If we had any indication they would have been executed we absolutely would
have done something." But she added it's likely they would have still been
euthanized."

The whole thing is sickening. I would think that after watching the
SCPA falling all over themselves, pointing fingers at anyone else they
can think of and coming up with lame excuse after lame excuse,
Canadians will know where not to send their animal welfare donations.

............I think they're about to have their "pitbull" moment. I'd sure
like to know who the "expert in the US" was.

I wondered that, too...and if the expert was real.
