Operation Potcake cancelled after local vet opposition
If it wasn't so sad this story would be hilarious, makes me all warm and fuzzy to think that some money grubbing, two faced, selfish, moronic, imbeciles are out there saying they care about animals, but you have to pay them to care. Foreigners must think we are about the worst kind of people in the world to turn them down, I hope this story gets out to world. What a bunch of rot that they say how magnanimous they are giving up their time and their hard earned money. Man is suppose to watch over gods creatures not let them come into a life of torment and suffering.
All of you kind "special, loving" vets will get your reward when god calls you up and asks well what did you do to make the lives of the potcakes better?

An Israeli doctor says: 'Medicine in my country is so advanced that we can take a kidney out of one man,put it in another, and have him looking for work in six weeks."
A British doctor says: " That is nothing we can take a lung out of one person, put it in another , and have him looking for work in four weeks.
A Canadian doctor says:'In my country,medicine is so advanced that we can take half a heart out of one person , put it in another, and have them both looking for work in two weeks."
A Bahamian doctor , not to be outdone , says: You guys are way behind, We just took a man with no brain-made him Prime minister, and now the whole country is looking for work!!!!

Apparently so...because Operation Potcake was SUCH a high risk to their daily business of dealing with all the other NON-spaying problems that people have with their pets...yeah right!! As a pet owner, if I got a new animal, I am not about to run up to the crew at Operation Potcake and ask them to spay or neuter my dog for free, I'm a responsible pet owner and I would still use and pay my local vet out of respect...and because the O.P. crew have a lot more wild strays to worry about than my one looked after animal...so yeah...having this team here is such a major threat to what the locals do, day in and day out...give me a frikkin' break, I hope they feel the true shame and reflect back on this and realize, albeit to late, that they really screwed up and let the country down as a whole.

This is some B.S. are people this stupid and greedy... Some greedy, selfish, stupid people came up with this one.. The volunteer system was working and more importantly the animals were being helped by people who genuinely cared about them. We have a terrible pot cake problem, its unsafe, unsanitary, and cruel to the animals. i can remember being bitten as a kid by a stray, this is rediculous....idiots...

Once again GREED motivates the decision making process! This activity does not cost the Bahamian people one red cent! It is done out of care and concern and in fact, actually saves in the long run.
This ridiculous proposal proposal from the VMAB will do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to alleviate the Potcake situation. The people who bring their dogs to these clinics would not otherwise do so. So the VMAB is not out a penny! Furthermore, those volunteers who come from away pay their own way, pay for accommodations, pay for meals and other things - in other words THEY ALSO CONTRIBUTE TO THE LOCAL ECONOMY!!
Proverbs 12:10 tells us that no one should be cruel to animals. And it tells us that in the eyes of God the person that takes care to love, and fill all needs of their pets are rewarded and looked upon as righteous and good. Those that are cruel and abuse their animals will not be looked upon favourably.

The impression is given that foreign vets donated their services taking business from Bahamian vets. I do not know this to be true. The vets that came here and donated their services were caring Bahamian vets. Local hoteliers gave away accommodations, ice, vehicles, food, blankets, you name it. It was a splendid example of a community coming together for the good of all. What will happen without this when the potcake numbers are overwhelming us again is this: locals will poison them, some will take shots at them and wound them to crawl into the bushes and die. Others will starve in the dumps. Yet again, a splendid example of how Flip Flop Christie operates under the least bit of pressure, no matter how irrational.

Vets turn against local pot cakes. Is it the Veterinary Medical Association of the Bahamas or BEC. Both sound about the same to me. Then again, we could call this the "local vets turn as greedy as the double dippers." Thanks Tribune for enlightening news that the local vets are in such bad financial shape, they're turning against our pot cakes. Maybe your newspaper can run a couple of free "Bake Sale" ads" for our starving Comrade vets.
Amen!

'Shirley you can't be serious!!??' Do you honestly think that anything the crew from Operation Potcake does is taking money out of the local Vets businesses? Have they ever...and I would like the to comment on this...have they ever gone out if their way to try an initiative of this sort, gone out of their way to help dogs in need for no $$ in return...no, they sit in their offices and wait for sick pets or pets needing attention by caring owners. The majority of the charity to animals is done by people like the Bahamas Humane Society or other similar organizations. The Operation Potcake crew are zero threat to the livelihood or salaries of the local vets, and they ought to be ashamed of themselves for not joining forces with the team and giving of their time...giving back to the community, helping animals in need that have no owners or $$ to pay for services...in this case, just a simple spay or neuter. Give up their salary for foreign workers...you are as bad as them...they are not here to start up some clinic to compete with the local vets. Idiots...the lot of you and them that think that way.
