There is a difference between being bankrupt/insolvent and filing for *Chapter 11 Bankruptcy* *Protection*. Bankruptcy protection simply means that a person, or an entity, is protected from its creditors while being given the time to restructure. For some unknown reason this difference seems to be lost on the majority of people here in The Bahamas…
Did *American Airlines*, for example, stop flying after it filed for *Chapter 11 Bankruptcy* *Protection*?
I hope that the Government of The Bahamas makes the right decision by allowing Mr. Izmirlian and his attorneys to proceed under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Cutting off one's nose to spite one's face is senseles...
I have never seen any other medical school graduate [in The Bahamas] treated with such disrespect and it is in stark contrast to the way that veterinarians are revered in other countries. I have never experienced the way [my fellow] lay people and animal lovers feel that they are as qualified [to make decisions concerning animal welfare] as a veterinarian who has been through years of medical school.
As lay people we should be embarrassed by our own behaviour and comments; we would never dream of disrespecting our physicians in this manner.
There are always at least two sides to every story.

It is truly a sad day for The Bahamas.
Our country is now officially a third world joke. We should be afraid.

That's rather a blanket statement!
Are you saying that "no one believes" him; or, that none of the involved parties believes him?
I tend to believe him...

Rory, what I appreciate in your posts is the realism; you seem not to be governed by emotion.

Truthsayer, you are really good at throwing out numbers, the problem is they just don't add up.
Operation Potcake has stated that they are trying to raise $50,000 for OP2014. They previously stated that the target for OP2014 is 1000 animals.
That works out to exactly $50/animal...
I admit that OP2014 does not have to pay for overhead, or staff, or the cost of doing business, etc. so, yes, their costs should be quite a bit lower.
