Have I got this right, Saga Vet can not work there but volunteer vets can, were did these vets come from?

I want SAGA to survive and continue acting as a much needed shelter and first response for care and assessment. I have made this clear; I do not take sides here, but SAGA has no reasonable business model in my opinion, and if they do, they are keeping that a secret.

i think the issue is more potential revenue for SPAH than potential costs for SAGA.

AC, The story is about as Peter Jones reported. I read about everything I could about it at the time and talked personally to some of the parties involved.

SAGA has a management problem, treated the vet poorly and this is the result. SAGA has a place in town but until things change they have lost a lot of support. When the vet, Dr. Laurie was there fund raising was very good and things where going well. That ended when she was pushed out by their shabby treatment which continued even after she left.

AC you are not seeing the whole picture. It does not have to be "Us vs. Them". That is what is keeping everyone from working together to serve the animals.

Cant argue with that, if they were a better/bigger business they would charge full price, and make a lot more money, and not need donations!

Oh, but then thered be so many stray dogs running around that youd have to spray your feet with disinfectant from walking thru dog shit on the beaches. Sounds great! Whoohoo for big business!

Not finished at all. Our original payment processor refunded all donations automatically and we had to ask our donors to resubmit their donations. Most donors thankfully did so and as a result, was nothing more than a minor hiccup.

Regarding donating to SAGA via FOSP. We are happy to help support SAGA in their efforts. Our intention is not to be a "bank" for other charities but rather work with them on "projects".

Like i said I went from what Marty posted but i would guess it would be under the same arrangements like when the plane full of dentists come to San Pedro and treat anyone that needs dental treatment on a volunteer basis.

Look, Im sure theres 2 sides, there ALWAYS is, and im sure both sides hold some truth, one more than the other as always. The problem however is that before saga there were too many strays, and as every where else in belize they were poisoned for population control.

Now enter saga, population gets controlled. Poisonings stop. Can you try to use some foresight and imagine if sagas gone and those 100-200 animals are NOT spayed and neutered weekly?

I wouldn't care if it was God trying to shut down SAGA, if the offense is successful we are going to be up to our ears in dogs that are going to breed and breed and ultimately be poisoned. JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE IN BELIZE WHERE SAGA ISNT AT!

So in my mind is it US vs THEM. Whomever THEM maybe. Unless THEY are going to pick up the slack and start spaying and neutering all these animals for free, THEY are the evil ones. and ultimately will be the reason we will have dead dogs in the streets.

FOSP has been in the works for nearly 3 years. As an organization we are 100% neutral and have no pro or against stance of anyone. We would like to be a tool to help any charity servicing the community of San Pedro.
