The OSPCA has been enforcing Ontario's animal cruelty laws for 100 years.

Ontario's animal welfare agency, the OSPCA, has informed provincial government officials it will stop investigating and enforcing animal cruelty laws once its current contract expires at the end of March.

The OSPCA has enforced animal cruelty laws in Ontario for 100 years.

CEO Kate MacDonald told The Canadian Press (CP) the current model "is no longer working".

MacDonald says the group will transition into a support role in animal cruelty cases while providing shelter, forensic evidence and vetrinary services.

Current enforcement officers will be moved into support roles.

Do you like good dogs? Do you live in Ontario? Do you have no cats? I know about the bestest boy for you to adopt. His name is Toby, he's an 8-year old Wolfhound-husky mix. He knows sit, down, drop it, leave it, stay (as long as there's no distractions), and back (to get away from the door). He has no resource guarding, is good for brushing and nail trims, and walking along busy roads, and as pictured is good with other dogs. Unfortunately, after a week-long trial at our place we knew we couldn't keep him around our two cats. He's fine seeing squirrels and stuff outside, but cats inside are too much for him. He's available through the OSPCA. Mostly I just want everyone to know how good he is

OSPCA at at Crossroads

TV Ontario’s The Agenda has posted the video of our panel on the future of animal welfare enforcement in Ontario, in light of the recent court ruling that the Ontario SPCA’s powers are unconstitutional.

I found the discussion thoughtful and nuanced, but there were certainly controversial moments, especially on whether the OSPCA should wield police powers and whether existing anti-cruelty laws are adequate.
