I'm so sorry to hear about this. When will the authorities open their eyes and realise that not only is eradication just a temporary solution, which has no long term advantages when it comes to controlling stray dog populations. Not to mention it is against WHO advice. Tourists get incredibly upset about it and some even refuse to visit Belize after hearing about it. It is one of those things that seems to be like pointlessly banging one's head against the wall. Ineffective, pointless and stupid - yet they persist. I very much hope that the humane society can find a way to work with the Town Board in Caye Caulker to find effective, humane and intelligent solutions to stray dog control. I applaud all the hard work done by your humane society and all of the humane societies around the country. Most don't realise that the humane societies are organised and run by volunteers, who receive no payment and who have taken the responsibility to find the funds to care for animals that have been abandoned, neglected and abused and also for those who belong to people who can't afford to care for them. If anyone is critical of humane societies, the best thing they can do is to be a responsible pet owner and to encourage those around them to do the same. Once all animals are responsibly kept, there will be no need for humane societies!
