SPCA Accusations Stir Calgary to city debate over cats
City pound keeper John H. Pickard says Suffield Experimental Station has not sought animals recently and that supplying cats would go against city policy. He notes five or six cats were taken about three and a half years ago, possibly for pets or mice control, and claims the animals are well cared for while awaiting use in experiments. An SPCA official confirms Calgary SPCA is flooded with missing-pet reports and that further inquiry will occur, with Gordon Harkness noting Ottawa will investigate.
