$2m/year? They desperately need to stop pretending they can be a no-kill shelter. The majority of those animals will likely never be adopted. Reduce the population in your care, and you can provide better for the animals who are left. What kind of life is it being locked up in a cage 24x7 anyway?

And to think Minnis just gave them 15 acres of Crown Land!!!!

Yup, The Bahamas Humane Society now has pretty much the same kind of very wealthy and politically-connected elitist aura as The Bahamas National Trust with an ever growing annual operating budget to prove it. LOL

C'mon guys, they are doing their best. Why beat them up, when it is the general population who turn these animals out on the streets ?
As far as I know, they do offer a free spaying & neutering service, but most people just throw their pets out on the streets hoping someone else will take care of them.

Then. . .mayhaps you can go adopt a few of them!! I got two of them. . .some real fine dogs!! Taking them two on the beach is a blast. . .one likes to "swim" way out. . .then whines to be rescued. . .mmussie tryna "dran" me aye?

One even "grabbed" a duck outta the air after it flew into ma yard!! When I took the "half dead" duck away. . .the dog looked at me like: "hey. . .catch ya own damn duck". . .hehehehehehehehe!!

Thank goodness for those "wealthy and politically connected" people. They continue to support and make it possible for the BHS to continue their essential work to assist the animals.

There are just as many ordinary Bahamians who support, volunteer and assist the BHS in so many ways. Thank goodness for them too!

It's the ignorant and disgraceful attitudes of people like the posters above that make the mission even more difficult. Shame on you for trying to take away from those who actually do the hard work and don't sit on their computers demonstrating their ignorance and prejudices for all to see! Why don't you volunteer a few hours at the BHS to help clean up the mess made by these vandals, or offer to walk a dog so it doesn't have to speand 24/7 in a cage?

The problem is so many of you gated-community goers supporting the BHS are so damn clubby, woke and warped that you would rather raise scarce public funds to use with your own funds, in addition to grabbing 15 acres of scarce Crown Land on an over-populated island, to feed and care for four legged animals when we have so many two legged young ones going to bed hungry every night who are in dire need in our country today. Suggest you just put all of the unwanted animals to sleep using that humane blue juice and stop trying to creat an expansive BHS empire to soothe your own 'I'm saintlier than thou' wants and needs.

create

I'm all for gassing the excess dogs, but we also need to be passing out condoms in schools. The two problems aren't all that different in the end.

They should gas the thieves, not the dogs

Why not both?

Dogs don't break into businesses and steal peoples livelihoods

So you would rather have all these animals just roaming the streets like in most 3rd world countries. At least these 'elitists' are trying to help, unlike you and that big chip you have on your shoulder. I'm sure your Berkeley attending niece that you are so proud of, would be so proud of you !!

ZZZZZZZzzzzzzz.......

So predictable

ZZZZZZZzzzzzzzz...... x 3

Jerk! It's not just the wealthy that donate to BHS and help out. You truly are an ignorant cock!

ZZZZZZZzzzzzz.......

You really need to come up with a different and more intelligent riposte. You're becoming a bore

ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzz...... x 2

@tribanon, are you really taht dense and ignorant. Who do you think donates millions of dollars to the various children's homes, scholarships, food banks, hurricane relief, old age homes and so many toher worthy causes in the Bahamas? It's those same wealthy, clubby, gated community people you love to hate.

If you want to provide joice boxes and food to children, by all means -- that's your perogative. Some prefer to donate and support animal shelters. It's my money -- what I do with it is my choice -- not yours! And yes, I do donate to all of the above organisations I mention above, so hush up and do your part before you pretend to know what you're talking about! It's people like you that make people not want to donate to two-legged folks. The four-legged ones are way more grateful for the help. So tired of this backward stupidity in this counnty that continues to hold us back from being so much more than we are.

Spew as much condescension as you wish from that high alter of yours, but at some point we're gonna have to start getting the likes of you to pay your fair share of taxes, even if it means you may have less to spend by your own choice on your animal friends and the ever growing BHS empire.

THIS IS A CRYNG SHAME, LIKE THE COMMENTS OF THE FIRST TWO POSTERS WHO HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY AE TALKING ABOUT.

Well said & I agree, they are also part of the problem.
Disgusting humans committed the crime and more disgusting are the heartless comments! For Gods sake its a CHARITY, I expect those that criticize haven't given a Penny to the BHS in their life, and they too probably mistreat their animals.

There's a reason why the very poor and less well educated women in our society have many more children than they can afford to raise, and why the women in wealthy families have the luxury of affording as many children and four-legged animal friends as their little hearts desire. Just think about where that leaves the rest of our society for a moment.

OMG @tribanon, what in the hell are you talking about!? This is a robbery of a charity and you are blaming the WOMEN of Bahamian society! Are you insane? The Women are the Glue that is holding this country together, working, educating and feeding children, while the 'men' drink and throw litter out their car windows, they breed fighting dogs then throw them out too, they have kids and abandon them, they rob and steal from their bosses and each other.... get a grip!

I really hope you don't have a son or a husband that you subject to this kind of messaging about Bahamian men.

that s/b whom

A despicable act. The BHS is a charity who helps so many in this community with very limited resources. They do a yeoman's job on this island.

Thinking about getting another one!! One "lil" one this time. . .if I get one big one this time. . .that dude will have to work to earn his keep!! Them things cost plenty money ta keep!! Also, them big dogs like ta "rule" ya house in short order. . .I just let him thnik he is in charge!!
