It seems pretty simple to me, the foreign volunteers would be here for 5 days under Operation Potcake. Last time I checked that would leave 360 days for local vets to continue on with the spay/neuter programme and gain the respect they are looking for.
Supposing this is true - why on earth would you have a problem with the additional help.? Sorry this is just not the way to have handled the situation if you were expecting to be seen as the caring professionals. Had you embraced the volunteers and worked along with them you would be presenting a completely different picture.
How sad that not only are the unwilling or unable to donate their time and service in the same manner as the "foreign" volunteers but they are so "blind" they they are willing to stand in the way of those that are. It would have sent a much better message to Bahamians if they had simply embraced the help and contributed whatever time and services they could.
