OSPCA RALLY- Newmarket - this Wednesday, June 22

The Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is an anathema to animal rights.


They are self-serving, deluded, corporate pigs (no offense to pigs who are smart, intelligent and loving animals – but using this word in the colloquial sense) who see animals as an unfortunate side effect of their bloated organizational morass – and thus ultimately disposable.

The reality is the OSPCA KILLS the majority of the animals they purport to “save”.

The reality is that it is their right (thank you Liberal government for facilitating this gross miscarriage of justice) to decide whether an animal is being treated improperly and their RIGHT to walk in and take the animal. The fact that after STEALING the animal they then kill it is indisputable and there are many PROVEN cases of this occurring.

It has now been clearly established beyond doubt that the OSPCA – the same organization which has attacked and destroyed both individuals and organizations for the same reason – have clearly contravened policies and procedures set out by the College of Veterinarians.

Just a few of the contraventions are as follow:

• Inadequate record keeping of animals brought into the ospca Newmarket shelter.
• Inadequate record keeping of animals killed and/or euthanized;
• Inadequate record keeping of controlled drugs and medication;
• Absence of even the "Minimum Standard" for the care and compassion of animals as specified in the Animals for Research Act and the Pound Act;
• Inadequate training of supervisors and staff;
• Allowing the killing of animals to be carried out by staff and/or auxiliary personnel without direct or immediate supervision of a registered veterinarian;
• Inadequate performance and unacceptable services carried out regarding the most basic procedures

It would be ironic if it weren’t so heartbreaking that this bloated bureaucracy uses those same contraventions (often unsubstantiated) to harass and torment other individuals and organizations.

 

Premier Dalton McGuinty MUST immediately fire senior management Jim Sykes, Kate MacDonald, Tanya Firmage who have consistently, arrogantly and without conscience been caught out in lie after lie after lie.

 

In an independent review, J. Scott Weese, detailed failure after failure on the part of this nightmare for animals of an organization.

• Variable and sometimes contradictory statements.
• Content or factual errors.
• Inadequate consideration of many broad issues that contribute to infectious disease transmission.
• Inadequate provision of information to personnel for routine practices, health risks and disease control issues.
• Reliance on passive suggestions rather than firm requirements, such that much of the specific information in the documents can be interpreted as optional.
• Inadequate description and delineation of roles and responsibilities of different personnel, reporting mechanisms and the decision-making process for many important decisions.
• Excessive marginally relevant material that detracts from more important information.
• No indication of clear, formal, documented and mandatory training for most areas.

 I highly recommend interested persons read the report cover to cover , but some salient issues include the fact that there is “here is no formal mechanism for properly addressing outbreaks” – yet in their deluded, arrogant ‘wisdom’ they decided to MURDER all 350 animals in their facility last year at a purported – yes purported – it was LATER proven the “virulent strain of ringworm” they claimed justified the slaughter – NEVER EXISTED.  Further, as quoted from the Report: 

An additional concern with in-house testing is quality control. Improper use or interpretation of tests can lead to erroneous results being reported, as may have been the case in this ringworm 'outbreak' i.e. misinterpretation of the Fungassay screening test.

 Even the most basic requirements are flouted and “Currently, there is no requirement that animals be vaccinated against rabies prior to adoption.” This from an organization that purports to speak for the animals of ONTARIO?

 

This organization, which says styles itself the EXPERT on animal care, animal husbandry and animal welfare in the province of Ontario had as a directive to its employees instructions like:

For example, people are to "Walk through all rooms and ensure all dogs are ok ... .,

 OK? What in the name of GOD is OK? As in alive (possibly an important directive as the OSPCA is so keen to kill). Clean? Unstressed? Talk about vague and this from an organization which MAKES the directives and rules!

 

Kate the BITCH Macdonald and her minions lied outright in many of their dealings with the Toronto Humane Society last year. They lied about the “virulent ringworm” outbreak. There has been lie after lie to owners about their beloved pets which were summarily executed without even a chance to say goodbye. The lies are legion yet these people continue to rule.

 

What is wrong with the McGuinty government that they continue to allow this travesty of an organization to continue under the aegis of individuals who so clearly are liars, cheats and charlatans?

 

FIX this, McGuinty and FIX IT NOW.

 

Let our voices be heard at the highlest level of government; come to the Rally this Wednesday, June 22.
