What kind of support? I have a strong back if that is any help.

Can you sign a petition?

I can do that.

I just did.

Nice!

But what good is that petition? I'd sign it if I thought it would help SAGA, but I don't. SAGA is not in the dire state they would have us believe. I have no idea what their current finances are, of course, but I do know that if what I have heard is true they will be allowed to have a vet for humane society work. As I understand it they will not be able to operate a commercial vet clinic, the reason being that there is already one nearby. So unless SAGA can drive SPAH out of business, which I don't see happening any time soon (nor do I see it as desirable, and that has nothing to do with personalities) they have NO OPTION but to work with SPAH.

Of the 190 neuters/spays reported as having been performed, I wonder how many of those were for owners who otherwise could not have afforded to have had it done. I have the impression that a number of well-heeled people took advantage of the free offer. Is that a proper use of SAGA's resources - providing free veterinary services to people who can readily pay? And if the objective was to reduce the business stream for SPAH, that would have been as improper as it was futile.

I am curious on some aspects of that mass neutering program. Were they done according to best veterinary practice? Were all the appropriate drugs used, because I believe they are very costly? And who did them, given that SAGA doesn't have its own vet? Did they get special dispensation for their new vet or did they bring another vet in?

I would also like to know the answers to the questions from Peter Jones?

It's so bad what going one and nobody speak about it.

Last week it got a call from Laurie Droke
(San Pedro Animal Hospital) for a renew of the rabies vaccination of my dog and my cat.

I got my dog from saga, and I was always going with my cat to Saga.



In any country if you start you own business, you can not steal the customer base from you former employee and the contact actively this customer.

Laurie knew the name the hard to spelling name of my dog and my cat, the date of the last vaccination and my cell phone number. I told Laury clearly I don't want here service and I'm fine with SAGA.

I don't know if there is no law in Belize to prevent this bad behavior, but ethically is not acceptable. The way Pedro and Laurie try to take the None Profit Organization SAGA out of business is disgusting.


If SAGA doesn't exist anymore were the Belizean Families with 800 BZD a month can get affordable treatment for there animals.


We have to stand up for SAGA and we have to oppose the disrespectful money drive practice of the San Pedro Animal Hospital.

I seriously doubt that Laurie had any such thing in mind. She set up the clinical database at SAGA and obviously took it with her, so I would think she was merely reminding you it was due and offering to do it. Did you have any comparable reminder from SAGA?

I also don't think SPAH is a "disrespecful money drive practice". I know no more about their finances than I do SAGA's, but I do know that they have installed a great deal of very expensive equipment which somehow has to be paid for, and I do know that they only use drugs that are in-date. In fact, I believe they donate any drugs past their official expiry date but still usable to SAGA.....

wow. yeah peter im sure they didnt want ANY of the past customers either it was just a friendly reminder that they should go back to the free clinic. come on man...
