You must remember our standards and SPCA standards are sometimes a little different. What some of us would consider neglect/abuse, the SPCA passes as they HAVE to cater for the entire population. If a dog has food and water, it's usually fine with them. Socio-economic factors are always considered by SPCA. This is not a criticism of SPCA, far from it, - it's just fact.
