Is this true in Canada also?
Every few weeks some family asks for donations to the humane society as a memorial for a beloved lost family member (and I don't mean the family pet).

"Is this true in Canada also?"

Pretty much....a decade or so back the SPCA lost it's "animal control" contract to a private contractor.....a whole bunch of folk with Brit accents did a protest march....

The local SPCA shelter here (now closed) dealt only with cats...private contractors (another bunch pirates) do the canine control...

gellen - do what I do, if you live in Ont. donate to the Ont. Vet College, Guelph, Pet Trust Fund. Its a fund that goes to cutting edge research on treatments and medications to keep our companion animals healthy, advancing the knowledge of Veterinary Medicine. I don't know if Saskatoon has a similar trust. Look it up at www.pettrust.ca

I could give to the local pet shelter as it is costing the volunteers nearly $200,000. to operate this home for unwanted cats.
That is what the families should be advised to do by the funeral director: give to your local shelter.

About Kate

Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.

This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."
