SAGA will either be granted the full commercial vet license, or not. We've signed the petition requesting for the board to grant the license; however, it may not happen. Does SAGA really have to close its shelter if it doesn't employ a vet? Can it restructure a bit and focus on sheltering, round ups and working with private vets on island and from other parts of Belize to do pro bono spay/neuters? Yes, Belize needs choices - absolutely! But having even one licensed vet on the island with top notch equipment, facilities and skills is light years ahead of even last year. Until such time as SAGA is able to employ a vet, or some other licensed vet opens a second practice on the island, I hope SAGA will consider a Plan B - No licensed Vet but fully functional Shelter contingency plan. Many have suggested how this might work to deaf ears and screams of 'you want to kill SAGA'. No, really, just would like to see all the good work and progress SAGA has accomplished toward managing the stray population and helping shelter needy animals continue no matter what.
