Yes TollRussell, it does. It is interesting to note as well that BAARK is at essence the creation of one ex-patriot who being a resident was not granted the right to work and so turned her considerable skills and energy to tackling the stray dog overpopulation. Just think what could have been accomplished over the last decades by the hundreds of ex-pats who have been denied the opportunity to contribute due to our collective xenophobia and government intransience.

Tal Rossell. No, the mobile clinic to the best of my knowledge was funded by private individuals, and one in particular, and companies , who have been raising funds for many years now. Just possibly the customs duty may have been reduced by the government, but that I do not know.

An interesting part of the sad story of yet another young man getting killed is that the magistrate seemed unaware of the prevalent rumor that wearing an ankle bracelet means that someone is tracking your movements 24 hours a day and this in turn can lead to the wearer of the ankle bracelet being killed, usually by person unknown.

Sometimes bad things happen to good people, and sometimes people get just what they deserve. A good decision this one.
