The Burnaby SPCA has been hit with unexpected medical costs after several dogs were found abandoned near Marine Drive, just east of Boundary Road. A generous anonymous donor has offered to match up to $20,000 in community donations to help care for animals at the Burnaby SPCA shelter.
Feeding wildlife may seem like an enjoyable way to connect with nature, but often it leads to serious problems for species like squirrels, raccoons, deer, and bears, doing more harm than good. Even bird feeding is controversial and the pros and cons of the activity need to be considered along with the responsibilities that come with it.
The BC SPCA invites you to an animal-themed day of fun this May. Open House events take place at the South Okanagan and Campbell River branches this Sunday, May 12, as well as at the Alberni-Clayoquot branch on May 26 and the North Peace branch on June 9.
