this is like private doctors trying to shut down free clinics.

iluvbelize, peter, come on guys. You say the issue is for the animals and not about the people fighting behind the curtains, but all you've done is tried to protect pedro/lauri aka private vet by trying to deflect the negative attention to SAGA. Bravo. Try to be a little less hypocritical and contradictive.

I personally think if this is a matter of greed and it disgusts me. Unlike you two, i REALLY do believe that if this is the case the problem IS with the people trying to shut down SAGA, and that is what needs to be discussed. Petitions and donations alone ARE NOT going to do anything. The ROOT issue is what needs to be addressed.

Im sure if Outback steakhouse was trying to shut down homeless soup kitchens in Chicago it wouldn't fly too well. It doesn't make fiscal sense anyway, alot of the people that go to SAGA go there because they CANT afford a private vet. So if SAGA closes those people aren't all the sudden going to go to the new vet, you are just going to have more strays, more sick/dying dogs, and people will have no options at all.

It breaks my heart to see all the homeless dogs here. Imagine if SAGA wasnt spaying and neutering hundreds a week. There will be more dogs than people in no time, Poisonings will have to commence. Peter, THIS is why SAGAs needed.
