The BC SPCA has been helping millions of injured and abused animals for 125 years, and to mark the occasion the province has issued a special proclamation to mark the special milestone.

Within the last year, the BC SPCA has responded to 8,000 complaints of animal cruelty, while also providing care for nearly 48,000 animals in need.

Craig Daniell, CEO of the BC SPCA says that over the decades the organization has been able to give emergency veterinary care, sheltering and adoption placements, and rehabilitation for injured and orphaned wild animals.

B次元官网网址淥ur goal is to change the way animals are valued and treated so that they donB次元官网网址檛 have to suffer in the first place,B次元官网网址� he said.

From its early beginnings as an advocacy group, the BC SPCA has grown to become one of the largest welfare organizations of its kind in North America. This includes 44 locations across B.C., including community animal centres, store-front adoption sites, veterinary hospitals, spay and neuter clinics and a wildlife rehabilitation centre.

B次元官网网址淲e care for all animals - from hamsters to horses and from owls to otters,B次元官网网址� says Daniell.

He says the key to the BC SPCAB次元官网网址檚 longevity and achievements are because of all of its members who are passionate about protecting the provinceB次元官网网址檚 most vulnerable animals. The SPCAB次元官网网址檚 programs are funded entirely by donations.

However, Daniell says there is still much to be done.

B次元官网网址淲e are grateful to all those who share our vision of a world where no animal suffers because of human neglect or violence.B次元官网网址�

The provincial government issues proclamations from time to time to give official recognition to occasions or events of provincial importance or historical significance. In the past, this has included Multiculturalism Week and Child and Youth Day.
