Since 1824, when they were founded as the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA). Queen Victoria granted them Royal status in 1840, whereby they became the RSPCA.

They were the first animal welfare charity in history.

How many animals does the SPCA kill?

Not every SPCA kills animals!!!! I work at an SPCA where we have the lowest euthanazia rate in Canada... and a close runner up to North Shore Animal Rescue League. Certain shelters euthanize simply because they dont know how to run their shelters. It also depends on where you live, how many animals are being surrendered everyday... and how supportive the community is. I would like to know if you send Animals to the veterinarian to have animals put down? The SPCA in St.John's Newfoundland DOES send animals to the vet to be destroyed. The SPCA does not destroy animals but they do send animals off to the vet to be destroyed. Right now in St.John's Newfoundland the SPCA has been responsible for trapping animals at a local dump site where these animals would have been better off and some of the cats that were on the dump would still be alive today if the SPCA had not removed these animals. The SPCA needs to remember that most of these animals belong in the wild. If animals are not adopted within a period of time the SPCA will have these animals destroyed. I had a cat by the name of Snap brought into the SPCA in St.John's Newfoundland and the SPCA sent him to the vet to be destroyed, so I am sick of seeing people from the SPCA claiming they don't put animals down because the SPCA does put animals down. I will never donate to the SPCA again and I am rallying with other people on the internet to protest against the SPCA to get the message out not to support the SPCA. The SPCA uses donated funds to destroy animals.
