Once again it seems the Dept of Health is considering strychnine poisoning of our dogs. It is rumored this will happen this week. Seems a meeting was held to address the issue. Odd that again this may happen when our Village chair person Beto is out of the country, he would not let this happen. I spoke with the Health Inspector in San Pedro today and she confirmed the meeting and the possibility of the eradication's but said no definite plans had been made. We have contacted them on several occasions offering our help in a humane way to get problem animals off the street. We have humanly euthanized several troublesome dogs and relocated at our expense larger street dogs to homes on the mainland. We have struggled with getting our Police Department to even take dog complaints so we can deal with problem animals and progress is small if none. Our offers of help and humane euthanization at no expense to the Government seems to be being ignored in favor of strycnine poisoning at random. Keep an eye on your dogs at least til Monday when Beto returns. Another issue is that the Department of transportation posted this on T.V. Anyone riding bicycles or golf carts with dogs on leashes will be cited and fined $25. OMG..we have been making some progress with folks keeping their dogs on leashes. Now the villagers are all letting them off the leashes due to this advertisement!!!! No dog on leash no fine. In respect to The Traffic Department what they meant to say was on or off the leash only in the Town center high traffic area, yet its still a big set back as that IS NOT WHAT THEY SAID!!! http://www.cayecaulkerhumanesociety.com/

We never got $100 thousand dollars,that never happened. we spent over $1,500 last week alone on the community, we dont charge anyone for spay and neuter that cant afford it. Exams are always free at the Clinic. Your email sounds like you have an agenda, sounds a bit over DAH EDG....if you have animals and you need help come talk to us because it sounds like you have got some bad information. All day long we are giving out free Meds, running around checking on animals..I am so sorry you got such bad information. Please come by the Clinic this Saturday and talk to us. People that can afford to pay are happy to pay as even then we charge so much less than anywhere else. In our effort to stop dog fighting and animal abuse we are going to make enemies and you sound very angry.... We are a small clinic and dont have the facilities Belize City does so when in doubt or in a case we are not sure about we feel better sending animals to Belize City, which many times we pay for. I am so sorry for your misunderstanding,,,,

Oh gosh that is so terrible. I am so upset after reading this. I have been coming to Caye Caulker for several years and now I don't know if I want to continue coming if this is how animals are treated. You are right eradication is not the solution its sterilization and I do not know in heaven's name why someone would say that the PAWS humane society is doing nothing. I have seen PAWS in action myself along with a lot of my friends who can vouched for this each year when we visit them. PAWS humane society has been the first humane society to bring large charity vet groups such as World Vets and The Canadian Animal Assistance Team to Belize to provide all animals with free sterilization and free veterinary care, vaccines, you name it and PAWS Humane Society continue their efforts to offer free sterilization at their clinic and controlling the animal population of stray cats and dogs with their Trap , neuter and return program. For someone to say that PAWS Humane Society is not helping the animals of Caye Caulker is a big lie. If anyone wants to witness the wonderful work they do themselves, they should visit them to see their clinic where they get their work done, and see all the lovely abuse animals that were rescued and given a second chance and now live there in their sanctuary haven. They are located about a block away from the Atlantic Bank walking west toward the back beach. You will see a yellow with black spots painted cabana that looks like a Jaguar. For the people who want to contact them their site is www.pawanimalsanctuarybelize.comI agree with collyk that a lot of people are critical of humane societies but this is why its good for people to visit to see the work for themselves. For all the other humane societies in other parts of Belize that are doing such wonderful work, keep up the good work guys! We love you!!

It is interesting how a public service notice by the Caye Caulker Humane Society gets twisted into prompting such a negative response. While I am not day to day active with the Humane Society, I am involved enough to know that funds are difficult to raise; there are no huge donations, and that the money IS being spent on dogs. To the negative posters: Please visit the CCHS website http://www.cayecaulkerhumanesociety.com/for current info on the most recent activities. AND before you say that's "hype and bad info" I was there 11/27 and saw firsthand the dogs being vaccinated and the puppies being wormed. It is a true dog-hater who spreads filth and vile about something they know so little. Beware, the wheel of Karma grinds slow...........but fine.
