Opinions on GSPCA

whitey1 · 2015-09-25 01:12:17

Any opinions on this organization? Someone from an adjoining county told me a story about this organization which I find very hard to believe? Seemingly it has been discussed on local radio, print media and online, but to date a satisfactory outcome has not been reached, in what (in my opinion) is a black and white case.

I know they sometimes have dogs left in the shop overnight, which do a lot of barking. Not always, just sometimes. Observable by anyone walking past.

Why do you want opinions OP? Are you considering work there or adopt an animal?

Someone tried to post giving the full details of the issue but one of the Mods deleted it. I guess the posting violeated some rule

I want opinions because I am trying to figure out if they are decent reasonable people. I cant believe what Im hearing.

The GSPCA & the other SPCA's need to be merged back with the ISPCA. There should be one national, professional organisation like the RSPCA in the UK. I hear a different GSPCA rumour every week.

I'm locking this as OP is looking for some opinions/rumours/whatnot about a volunteer organisation with no source nor backup.
We won't have wild rumours and potential anonymous accusations here.

Feel free to start a thread in Animals forum OP. I suggest you make sure to post good verifiable sources.
