THE second phase of Operation Potcake was launched yesterday with yet another steady stream of dog owners bringing in their pets for free sterilisation.
The first phase came to a close with 1,244 dogs having been treated – far more than expected at this stage.
The massive spay and neuter operation went into its two-day break on Monday, but clinics have now resumed at four locations: Fox Hill (community centre), Kemp Road (St Bede’s Church Hall), East Street (Music Makers Junkanoo Shack, 31 Fowler Street), and Carmichael Road (Oral’s Golden Auto).
When Deputy Prime Minister Philip “Brave” Davis paid a visit to the Fox Hill clinic last week, he was amazed by its size and level of organisation on display.
Mr Davis was led on a tour of the facility led by Animal Balance director Emma Clifford and Bahamas Humane Society president Kim Aranha.
He expressed his gratitude to the hardworking volunteers who are helping make our communities a better place.
Animal Balance is an organisation that helps island nations put together spay and neuter programmes to assist in reducing the number of stray animals on the streets.
Operation Potcake is a co-operative effort by all the animal groups on the island along with Animal Balance.
The Veterinary Board, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Bahamas Humane Society, BAARK, ARK, Proud Paws, Pink Potcake and Stray Busters are all involved, along with many individual animal lovers.
