Name: Earle Bingley on Aug 22, 2006Comments: Once again the SPCA condones the eating of animals to raise funds to protect animals. That is the ultimate meaning of: IRONIC Shame on the SPCAFlag

Name: Menkit Prince on Aug 22, 2006Comments: I don't understand why the SPCA can't have tofu sausages, weiners, fake chicken and bacon, marinated tofu etc at their BAR-B-Qs instead of dead animal flesh. It's time they looked at the horrific slaughterhouse video footage and realized what double standards they have. Wake up SPCA! And that includes all animal welfare groups on the planet.Flag

Name: Anonymous on Aug 22, 2006Comments: I agree wholeheartedly with the text of the petition. No one that eats meat truly cares and loves animals. To call oneself an advocate of animals, and yet turn around and eat them is pure hypocrisy. Unfortunately most people are like that (we are disgusted if our pets are treated badly, yet we have no problem sitting on thanksgiving with a dead bird in front of us and call it a holiday). Personally, I am a vegetarian, and have been for a long time. Do the right thing and extend your compassion towards ALL animals.Flag

Name: Sinikka Crosland on Aug 22, 2006Comments: Let's look at this from the perspective of the animals. Factory farming situations are far from being humane. Dying in terror in a slaughterhouse is not a "kind" ending when one is a sentient being. It is time for the SPCA to include animals other than cats and dogs under their protective umbrella, and to end the hypocrisy of helping some chosen species while contributing to the mass killing of others.Flag

Name: Brent Forder on Aug 22, 2006Comments: We're not saying all members of the SPCA should immediately adopt a vegan/vegetarian diet, but it is a huge double-standard to say that you are working to prevent cruelty against animals while actually promoting cruelty to animals on the other hand.Flag

Name: Prad Basu on Aug 22, 2006Comments: The SPCAs do a lot of good work, but for some reason don't seem to realize that cows, pigs, fish and crabs are also animals and hence entitled to 'Protection from Cruelty'.Flag

Name: Eli Kohnert on Aug 22, 2006Comments: there is a hypocracy in these fundraisers - that I am certain, has hardly ben noticed by the SPCA Fundraising Committees - the animals that were slaughtered to produce 'Hot Dogs' - lived and died under human imposed cruelty - there MUST be 'cruelty Free' fundraising opportunities - it takes imagination and - true compassion - something that appears in short supply with the organization.Flag

Name: Kerry McQuaide on Aug 22, 2006Comments: I have to ask myself why an organisation that promotes animal welfare contributes towards animal suffering! Have the SPCA become a money making machine like so many others I am just so disgusted by this - get your priorities straight!!!! No way will I be donating any more funds towards this organisation!Flag

Name: Anonymous on Aug 22, 2006Comments: SPCA fundraising = hypocritical. 'Animals' encompass more than just dogs, cats, and rabbits. I'm very disappointed and will not be supporting the SPCA financially until they become the society they purport to be. S.D. British ColumbiaFlag

Name: Alice Hooper on Aug 22, 2006Comments: I think this is an opportunity to examine what our values are when it comes to "cruelty to animals". Personally, I do not want to contribute to cruelty to animals or any livng being and based on information that I have read and seen, I include the slaughter of animals as being cruel and unnecessary. I have been a vegetarian for 11 years and am in better health now than I was before. Since there is cruelty in slaughter houses I will not eat meat. The SPCA is in a unique position as an organization that wants to prevent cruelty to "animals". It does not say "pets". Perhaps they need to reevaluate their name or their values so that the two are congruent. Thank you.Flag

Name: Paul Watson on Aug 22, 2006Comments: I wonder what some people think these words mean SOCIETY FOR THE PREVENTION OF CRUELTY TO ANIMALS. Cows, pigs, chickens, sheep, ducks, fish and crabs are animals. The process of raising them or catching and transporting them slaughter is cruel. So how can a Society dedicated to opposing cruelty participate in cruelty for the purpose of preventing cruelty. Very strange.Flag

Name: Deb Ozarko on Aug 22, 2006Comments: Is the SPCA the Society for the PREVENTION of Cruelty to Animals or is it the Society for the PROMOTION of Cruelty to Animals Currently it is confusing while serving dead animal carcasses disguised as "food" to people who care to help dogs and cats. The word "animal" comes from the Latin word animal, of which animalia is the plural, and ultimately from anima, meaning vital breath or soul. Personally I see far more than dogs and cats as having "vital breath or soul". Come on SPCA, make your message consistent and stop promoting killing!Flag

Name: The Council Animal Advocacy (CLAW) on Aug 22, 2006Comments: "We speak for those unable to speak for themselves" - It is unethical and thus inappropriate for an organization dedicated to abating Animal Cruelty to use Animals killed, the cruelest act of all, to raise money to assist in preventing cruelty to other species of Animals.Flag
