I don't take issue with SAGA hiring its own vet. I am only concerned that animals are going without because of the feuding among people. Even with all of the 'bad blood' between the two entities, it can be put aside to reach a solution until such time SAGA is able to employ a vet. SAGA has funds to pay the private vet's discounted rates. Maybe this is not what SAGA wants to do - I am sure they do not want to pay Laurie anything because 'they don't like her anymore' but seriously people, wake up and serve the needs of those innocent animals!
