What is the difference between the Toronto humane society and Toronto animal services and what one is better? |
Travel Info I'm interested in doing volunteer work and I want to know what one is better I know there is some bad blood between the two though Travel Tips Is Toronto Animal Services the same as the OSPCA (humane societies)? Toronto Animal Services enforces the City of Toronto bylaws as they relate to animals living in the City of Toronto. We care for all animals impounded under the bylaws. In contrast, the Ontario Society for the Protection of Cruelty to Animals (OSPCA) aims to prevent the cruelty of animals. (the Toronto Humane Society is affiliated with the OSPCA) http://www.torontohumanesociety.com/... Toronto Animal Services and the various branches and affiliates of the OSPCA advocate responsible pet ownership through education, provide adoption services and share a concern for the welfare of animals. http://www.toronto.ca/animal_services/fa...

NOTE: It is the responsibility of Toronto Animal Services to manage stray animals in the city. Q: How is The Toronto Humane Society different from animal control agencies? A: The Society operates one of the largest animal shelter facilities in Canada. Both the Society and animal control agencies have the similar goal of controlling the population of homeless pets by stressing the importance of spaying/neutering. The difference between the Society and animal control agencies lies in the focus of each organization's protection arm. Your local animal control agency is generally charged with the duty of controlling animals. They are the ones you call when a dog is running at large or barking too much. The license your pet wears comes from your local animal control agency. Most animal control agencies are also the ones you contact if there is a dead animal in your yard, road, or neighbourhood. The Toronto Humane Society works to ensure quality lives for all animals. Our main concern is for the well being of the animal. The Society is the place to call for help finding a home for your pet, to adopt a pet, to get information on responsible pet ownership, for tips on solving training and/or behaviour difficulties, to find out about animal welfare legislation and to report animal cruelty. The Toronto Humane Society's Investigations Department works throughout the GTA, many times assisting local law enforcement agencies including animal control, looking into allegations of animal abuse or neglect with the emphasis being on making the conditions better for the animal - whether that includes providing education for the owner or removal of the animal. Q: Are you a 'no-kill' animal shelter? A: No. In order to be considered 'no-kill' we would have to limit the types and numbers of animals we accept. The Society is an 'open door' animal shelter that has an extremely low euthanasia (one of the lowest in North America). We offer shelter and care to animals regardless of age, health, temperament, or space available. No healthy adoptable animal is ever euthanised. http://www.torontohumanesociety.com/abou... |
