ASPCA needs to start focusing more on actual dog rescue...it's embarrassing to see their numbers are around the same as some 100% volunteer run shelters. Oh, and if they claim they're active in other areas then how about starting by spending some of the war chest lobbying the city to ban apartment-based puppy mills in NYC (particularly of Pitt Bulls).

However, the reason I dislike aspca is that they tacitly approve of killing unwanted dogs - go to their website and check advice on what to do if you want to surrender your dog. They'll tell you to go to the NYC AC&C...they don't even bother providing links to no kill shelters. Meanwhile they try to guilt trip us with around midnight commercials of dogs in poor conditions, well guess what ASPCA, being on the death row (or one clerical error away from it, while suffering from a respiratory illness) in a kill shelter is as bad and yet you effectively advocate it.

Just wonder how many people call ASPCA to ask to surrender their dog?! They're a no kill shelter so of course they can't admit all dogs, but how about trying to at least offer alternatives.... I advise anyone to check out AC&C for adoptions over this place anyday...
