We got this through email.
I'm proud to see so many people working so hard to save the animals.
Any life saved, will be amazing.
Read this and voice your concerns!

UPDATE........

The Minister of Community Safety has declined to take any action citing that the SPCA is an arms-length agency and he has no jurisdiction.
As recently as 3:15 this afternoon MPP Klees spoke with the minister again urging him to use whatever means are necessary to stop the killing of these animals.
Klees explained to the minister that veterinarians, members of the public, landowners in the vicinity are offering their facilities to accommodate the segregation of animals that can be saved.

MPP Calls For Stay of OSPCA Euthanasia Plans

http://www.frank-klees.on.ca/Newsroom/OSPCAstayMay11_2010.htm
(Queen’s Park) Newmarket-Aurora MPP Frank Klees today called on the Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services to direct the York Region Branch of the Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in Newmarket to suspend its plans to euthanize 350 animals under its care.

"Before this drastic step is taken, I want assurances that all other options have been investigated," said Klees. "This comes as a shock to the community, and we can't just allow this mass destruction of these animals to take place without absolute assurance that there are no other options available to us."

Klees has discussed the issue with a number of veterinarians throughout the region and is concerned that this announcement caught them by surprise as well.

"What I find disturbing is that an APB did not go out to area veterinarians for assistance with this crisis before it came to this point," said Klees. "There are a number of questions that must be answered, starting with "How did things get to this point?"

Klees confirmed that he spoke with the Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services today asking for the stay and the investigation.

Ladybird Animal Sanctuary

A couple weeks ago, we had in our living room, three big hearted individuals, Melissa McClelland , Janine Stoll and Lisa Winn , from Ladybird Animal Sanctuary . The following is the transcription of the interview. You can find the video version up above. How did it all start? “I’m an animal lover, and a full-time touring musician," said McClellan. "And I think I just wanted part of my life to focus on my love for animals, because so much of my life is wrapped up being on the road. So I brought it up with these girls, and we all thought it was a great idea, so we’ve been talking about it for a few years now.” “I had already been doing it small scale," said Winn, "because I’ve worked at animal shelters, and had already been rescuing and fostering for a number of years.” “I felt like the three of us come from different backgrounds, and we work so nicely together," said McClelland. "Our personalities, we just click as friend. And Lisa has the background w

I must have picked the right font, because it looks like Gop 10 ! Ok, it's no surprise that I'm procrastinating writing my newest project, though I did write a short story for the Toronto Star Short Story contest, which means I still haven't given up my dream of becoming a successful author. Lucky for me, being a successful author means: completing a project I start. Also, it should't come as a surprise that I'm single, so I've compiled a Top 10 list of the reasons for this. Top 10 Reasons I’m Not Surprised I Don’t Have a Girlfriend. #10 - I trim my toenails with my teeth. #9 - When I pulled my laundry out of the dryer, I didn’t find any underwear, that’s when I realized I was still wearing the pair I washed last week. #8 - I’m broke and broken. #7 - I run like a girl and sit down to pee. #6 - I cut my own hair. #5 - I cry when I watch ‘The Notebook’. #4 - I’ll eat anything that’s free. #3 - I’ll drink anything that’s free. #2 - The minute I realize I’

Best Metal'ish albums of 2022

We use the term Metal’ish because some of our favorite albums could be considered metal adjacent, not metal necessarily, but awesome none-the-less and worthy of this list. We are always on the hunt for the next awesome metal album and this year there was no shortage of great stuff, in fact, this list could have been a lot longer. Finding all these albums on our own would be near impossible. What we do is wait until all the YouTube metal nerds put out their metal lists and we watch them - 20 or so videos so far -  and any albums we haven’t heard yet, we check them out. Basically we let them find all the good albums that we missed and then check them out and see what we think. The criteria for this list is easy: is it a kick ass album? Yes or no? If no, then it’s probably power metal. If yes, we listen to it until we get sick of it. Anyways, here is the list of top metal’ish albums of 2022. We are reversing a trend and instead of making you wait to see what is #1, we will just start ther
