so the real issue is that you want the supplies purchased from you, not donated from anywhere else? I don't see why the local vets would not want to stand beside these volunteers and double the amount of strays neutered/spayed. why are we denying help that we clearly need and is not doing anything but benefiting our country.

So will the Bahamian Vets still be willing to donate their time if all supplies is donated not purchased from each individual vet for $50.00?

Rory - fact of the matter is these dogs would NEVER see a vets office if it were not for Operation Potcake (they are strays and do not have any money to take themselves to a vet - therefore the vets are actually in a BETTER position after operation potcake)- so many loving homes are found for these dogs through this operation that then result in local vets receiving increased business because now these dogs that would otherwise just die on the streets have caring homeowners to take them on regular vet visits. i have 4 rescues myself and i spend more money on vet visits a year then i do on personal doctor visits and i cannot support any vets that would be so selfish to take away the opportunity for these suffering dogs to receive vet care, the possibility of finding a loving home, educating the community on pet care and help get the serious overpopulation problem we have under control. The local Vets clearly understand the extreme stray dog problem we have in the Bahamas and should be welcoming these volunteers who are giving up so much to help make OUR country a better place. Or lets just let the dogs out there suffer a little longer while the Bahamian vets slowly now attempt to solve the problem because they see what a great success Operation Potcake was last year. They cannot sit here and say that they have this issue under control. shameful!!!!
