SPCA UPDATE

An update to the entry from 8/3/2021: The Midland SPCA just doesn’t get it. Here they are complaining their fundraising was down during the pandemic, but they don’t even get why. It’s simple. People like me and numerous others who used to support this group financially turned our backs on them when they turned their backs on us. They shut down the off-leash park in March 2020 without warning and left those of us who regularly took our dogs there for exercise and socializing with other pups stranded with nowhere else to go. When asked why they had done this, they hid behind the pandemic, and then they lied: “We have to protect our staff (Nonsense: I’d personally gone to this park well over 300 times with my two rescue dogs and never once saw any member of their staff there; nor had anyone else I know); and we have to be mindful of the public (Nonsense: the Ministry of Health looks out for people, your role is to look out for animals)”.
Finally, they have re-opened the park, but it’s too late: they have become the Society for the Provision of Cruelty to Animals and that’s why their donations are drying up. It’s pretty simple: treat the public poorly, they’ll do the same to you. Shame on you SPCA.
