My experience with the SPCA that made me really wonder about them was in Surrey a few years ago when I went to the shelter to volunteer and I saw a sad looking black cat huddled in its litter box. I tried to adopt it but they wouldn't take a check or a credit card, and they wouldn't let me sign the papers unless I paid. But I told everyone in the place that I wanted to adopt that cat.
I came back a few hours later with the cash, I think it was about $95.00 and they had killed the cat!! And they didn't even care. No one cared at all - in fact I was treated like *I* was a problem because I got so upset!
I left and never returned and now I am going to start fighting them too. They were nasty and cruel to the cat and to me. I won't ever forget! Thank you AAS for giving them and me a voice!
