For many years the BC SPCA have made media sensation with the animals that they have seized from people in the province. News releases and articles published online by Global, CBC, and others have exposed these animal seizures although there is little evidence presented to the public about the conditions, the circumstances and even the animals from any other perspective than the BC SPCA's.

The BC SPCA have solicited donations from the public with free online support by the mainstream media giants as a result of their animal seizure activities articles. The public's donations for the care of seized animals have created a massive surplus according to the BC SPCA's most recent audited statements of over $100 million.

In recent times, some of the people that have had animals seized have called out the BC SPCA's actions by contacting mainstream media outlets and providing their information for online articles. However, the growing discontent has spread further than the mainstream media outlets and into social media platforms.

In recent years, the conversation surrounding animal welfare and the plight of pets in distress has evolved significantly in British Columbia, thanks in large part to the rise of social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram. As more individuals take to social media to discuss issues related to animal welfare, a growing community of people with pets is using their platforms to raise awareness.

“Social media has changed the landscape of animal advocacy,” said a spokesperson from the BC SPGA. “Now, people with pets and animals can share their experiences and foster discussions leading to a more informed and compassionate society.”
