Give them more they need all they can get ? We need law to help animals but we don,t need is a bunch of idiots that are enforcing them , I think it time to cut their we can do anything to anybody ideas and go to logic only. Problem when there is someone who think their,re above the law they will do whatever and doesn,t matter if they are right or wrong they do it and innocence people will get hurt in the end. Someone has to put in accountability into their power and train them to open their eyes .

99%+ of livestock guys do a commendable job , more laws for animals are not needed maybe just some education for a few farmers . In extreme southwest we have cat,dog,oppossum,even skunk savers + all the vegans ...We all want animals treated well but lets save the children ,feed,clothe,educate them first. kg kimball

Would be interesting to see a breakdown of where that 14-17 million is spent on just investigations.With just 85 agents, l don't think l have to show the numbers of how much that is per/agent but seems a lot to me.If its solely for investigations then Police and Lawyers fee's should not be in there !

Despite all the flag waving of new programs, education and protocols SPCA is still a creation of urban minded thinking people feeling the need to make most farm livestock pets.

SPCA is still a non-government organization receiving government funding with less than transparent accounting or accountability.

Their expertise in identifying distressed animals in their care is a dismal failure. With all their advanced training they had turtles with ringworm sentenced to death row in their fine Newmarket facility not that long ago.

They are still not responsible to a minister. There is no minister of SPCA reporting at Queens park doing regular audits of proficiency or answering to accountability for these badgered officers.

There should never be a situation where these overzealous deputized emotionally charged officers should be able to access private property with more authority and less honorable protocol than police officers.
