BC SPCA Animal Seizures
Upset animal guardians contact us about what to do


One of the worst nightmares an animal guardian can experience is the ease with which a BC SPCA officer can enter one's residence and seize wanted animals. BC SPGA receives many tragic and angry emails from extremely distraught animal guardians who have had their pet or animals seized by the BC SPCA and realize that they have no rights and no protection.

In the history of the BC courts and tribunal less than a dozen animal claims resulted in the seized animals being returned to their guardians.

PUBLIC CAMPAIGNS

Campaign For BC Pet-friendly Tenancies Legislation

End pet and animal discrimination in BC.
Why should many thousands of innocent dogs, cats, rabbits, reptiles and birds die because there is no place for them?

Many British Columbians would have an animal family member if they could. Changing the Residential Tenancy Legislation to be pet friendly is the solution to find homes for animals.

UNITE TO HELP ANIMALS


Campaign for Animal Policing Reform

BC animal guardians need responsible animal cruelty investigations policing that can be trusted and will act in the best interests of BC pet guardians and their beloved furry pet famillies.

Charities were not meant to be policing human beings and animals. That's more power than the RCMP has!

SPCA animal policing has successfully been replaced with a dedicated Provincial Animal Welfare Services team under governmental responsibility in Ontario. The SPCA has been freed to devote all of its resources to charity in Ontario.

UNITE TO HELP ANIMALS

Animal & Guardian Injustice

"It's a very one-sided lack of justice which consistently fails animals and their guardians who can very easily and quickly not only loose their pets but also valuable assets like their home, car, boat and life savings to the BC SPCA."
