Information for people with seized animals

The majority of complaints we receive from people with pets are about Animal Policing


The suddenness of the BC SPCA seizure of a pet can leave their families or loved ones feeling helpless and overwhelmed, making the grieving process even more challenging. Losing the pet can be profoundly heartbreaking. The emotional toll of such an event is significant, as pets often hold a special place in our lives, providing companionship and joy.


The BC SPGA has an Information and Support Section for the grief stricken pet guardians.

🐾 CAMPAIGNS 🐾

Campaign For Justice For Animals And People With Pets In Veterinary Care

Animals are being seized while in the care and treatment of a licensed veterinarian and the pet owners are prosecuted in the Courts and Tribunal.

Tell B.C. Attorney General and Deputy Premier, Niki Sharma that it is unfair to prosecute people who seek or have veterinary care for their pets and to make the laws fair.

Campaign for an independent, provincial Task Force to investigate BC SPCA Policing Operations, Policies and Actions

BC SPGA advocates for the establishment of a provincial, independent special task force to:
  • Review Existing SPCA Policing Practices
  • Investigate Guardian Complaints
  • Examine Animal Welfare Legislation
  • Recommend Reforms

Currently, the BC SPCA police operate with significant authority, often acting as investigator, prosecutor, and even adjudicator in cases involving alleged animal neglect or cruelty. This concentration of power, without robust independent oversight, raises critical questions about potential biases, procedural fairness, and the impact on the lives of ordinary citizens and their pet companions.

Email Premier, Agricultural Minister, Solicitor General

Campaign for Animal Policing Reform



The reality is that people with pets in BC are subjected to an overwhelming level of scrutiny and policing at a cost of hundreds of millions of dollars to tax payers.

The overlap and duplication of animal enforcement by the authorities result in a financial burden to the taxpayer costing many hundreds of millions.

The call for reform is not just about financial efficiency; it’s about fairness for people with pets in British Columbia.

The cost to the public for animal enforcement should be minimal with maximum efficiency.
