And where do they think the people who "own" these animals are going to get $50? These animals would never, ever see vet for **any** reason, due to their "owners" inability or unwillingness to pay....ergo, would it not make perfect sense to spay/neuter them for free so that they are at least not reproducing endlessly? And the local vets are not the slightest bit interested in doing this, so if we have volunteers willing to come to our country and take their precious time to help alleviate our stray dog problem (which, by the way, affects our tourist industry negatively), why not welcome them with open arms???? Other Caribbean countries are certainly taking advantage of their generosity! This is a no-brainer!

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