Watch SPCA, they will hurt your animals
I would like to take this time to tell you of an injustice of another
sort. A wrongful allegation in an authority field that many do not think of. But it's not just a wronful allegation here Their negligence actually hurt and abused the very beings that they were out to protect. This abusive authority happens to be the SPCA or also known as the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Why do I say abuse? It is really complex but horrible to think that someone who calls himself an animal rights activist would bring such harm on not just to an innocent family but the animals of which lived with these people. There was one such family in Northern Saskatchewan who recently exprienced a string of horrible tradgedies starting the loss of their home in a fire. The loss was devastating but fortunately no one was hurt. But one neighbour decided to take advantage of it just a few weeks later and called the SPCA Lying about thin animals and saying that there was no feed. There had been no apparent reasoning for this as the two neighbours had never had a disagreement. But the SPCA took advantage of an already bad situation. All animals were either of adequate weight or over weight and all we're seen and cared for daily by at least one member of the family for the entire two weeks and a half weeks after the fire with witnesses who were willing to testify to this. But no efforts were made to contact the family and any notice that was given was hidden in a spot not visible to the family and appeared to be deliberately done so. The animals were removed and sent to what Canadian Kennel Club members would call a "genuine puppy Mill." A Puppy Mill that was known to sell $10,000 worth of puppies each quarter and with sometimes the puppies were released on not so healthy terms. This puppy mill ended up abusing this beautiful registered chocolate lab by keeping her tied up too tightly. She also contracted a parasitic infestion while there from the uncleanly kept animals in that mill and it caused her to loose more than a quarter of her fur (during the winter months). The puppy mill decided to sell her quickly when she began to get sick so they could wipe their hands of it, and they never had her medically treated. They sold her as a registered dog without the ability to provide registration papers - a direct violation of the purebred animal act in Canada. A reputable kennel did buy her and wanted her papers. That is how the family found out about it. After careful deliberations with this breeder and the Department of Agriculture in Saskatchewan, the dog was returned to the family but not without major vet bills to return her to health. One month later, the hair is almost full grown in but the skin remains irritated from the event and she has not gained back the weight that she lost in the trauma that was caused by their negligence. For those who want to know who this puppy mill is to avoid, do not purchase puppies from Cindy or Troy Andrews of Weyburn, Saskatchewan. As for the rest of their animals, well it will be a long endurance. The reports issued were filled with lies to cover the rear-end of APO Lloyd Howden who did not exercise proper investigative techniques. The reports were filled with falsities and lies and the story began to change over time as they were approached each time. Names were even wrong in the reports and they lied about the RCMP (police) involvement. They refused to verify anything that the family said to prove their innocents and yet they would not press any charge against the family but no other animals were returned despite the fact that they were cared for. They were all apparently sold by this Andrews family out of spite! The APO officer not only improperly executed his job but he also threated the family over the phone and called them names. The only thing that can be assumed as to the reseaning behind these attacked from both the neighbours and the APO Howden was that the husband collected old tires in the yard in hopes to build shelters (earth Ships) and fensing for the animals. The family believes that this is what the neighbour and APO officer was mad at. Not once were the animals in close proximity of those items where they could get hurt! Furthered correspondence wit the SPCA has proven fruitless. The family has all but given up. They cannot imagine what kind of poor condition their horses are in and do not want to allow their minds to even go there! Is there anyone else out there who has gone through a similar thing. If so, we need to speak out. |

Aside from that, there's no credibility to a story in which none of the people, organizations, agencies, and businesses are identifible or named - including the organization the poster is railing about. "SPCA", or "Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals", is NOT one monolithic organization, but a name which is used by hundreds of very diverse and independent shelters, organizations, and agenicies. Most SPCAs are local organizations and/or shelters, and many are privately operated with no affiliation with Animal Control - IOW, they are without any authority to investigate cruelty cases or remove animals from owners. |

Well, aside from the fact that this sounds like serious allegations,
and i'm sure there's mroe to the story. The SPCA in Saskatchewan does have investigative, ACO powers. http://www.sspca.ca/ I'd like to see the original posters name and location as well. I can't help thinking there's more to the story than we see. And there is an APO with the name mentioned as well...
