1. Did the VMAB block foreign vets and volunteers from entering the Bahamas for this event? (By the way Peter, did you consider how this influx of 100's of volunteers helps the rest of the us because they use our shops, ride in our taxis and eat in our restaurants?) 2. Did you then propose to hold the event but for less days (even though admitting it would be less successful)? 3. Finally, since you blocked the free outside help from coming in and then shortened the program, did you then propose to charge $50 a procedure.
Does not 1+ 2 + 3 = a vastly lower amount of dogs being treated at a vastly higher cost + a much reduced outreach/educational program because of the reduction of volunteers?
Would it not have been more beneficial to the animals and the community to not block the foreign vets and volunteers from coming in? Then the local vets who wanted to participate could do so and those who found the terms too onerous could decline from participating?
Peter - I am listening, please advise what part of that is ill-informed.
This was a good thing, a simple thing. People coming from all over to help our Potcakes, educate our children and support our Bahamaland. Sad that sick, selfish, money hungry fools can hurt us all this way. It's just so sad. Please let us know if we can help in some other way.

Rant, perhaps. Ill-informed, let's see:

On Operation Potcake has been cancelled following opposition from local vets. How do you think the spay and neuter programme should be run?
