I'd love to see them reach a compromise.

I think Laurie Droke is extending an olive branch to treat the animals, begging that SAGA STOP INGRID FROM PRACTICING VET MEDICINE, and put the animals' needs first by referring them to proper medical care. SAGA is not even referring those who can pay for vet services to Laurie out of spite.

I think the Vet Board is and has been reticent to give anything more than limited licenses to most of the country's humane society vets (all of them not just SAGA). SAGA has compounded this issue by having Ingrid give out meds and illegally practice vet medicine on sick vulnerable animals when there is in fact a licensed vet available.

At one time we all had to engage in medically treating our own animals and some of the strays because there was no viable alternative and thank God there was some euthanol around to put down suffering terminally ill or injured animals in an emergency when Dr. DeShield was not available to fly over from the city, and more than a handful of spay/neuters were done by nurses and lay people out of desperate necessity. But that was over a decade ago, things have totally changed - there is a top notch surgical clinic and vet on the island. A return to the dark ages is so unnecessary!
