Supporters of the Victoria branch of the B.C. SPCA will gather for a public demonstration at 1 p.m. Sunday outside the shelter at 3150 Napier Lane.
The event follows the firing of shelter manager Penny Stone on Tuesday and the resignation of the shelter’s assistant manager, Cory Bond, on July 20.
On Wednesday, kennel master Marty Meszeros handed in her resignation, saying she was upset about the loss of Stone and Bond and she is concerned that animals at the shelter are not getting appropriate care.
The aim of the protest is to demand “accountability and answers to the recent and ongoing changes at the Victoria SPCA,” Bond said on Facebook.
“We will present ourselves as a professional group who are supporters and/or volunteers of our local shelter and animals.”
Volunteers are also organizing a letter-writing campaign directed at the B.C. SPCA’s board of directors. — Times Colonist
