sorry, i did not answer sooner...this was just sent to me...it will be interesting to see if it is posted.
saints owes $17,000 for vet care for our animals since the end of january 2010, that is how much money we spent in vet care so far this year..these are old, sick, incontinent animals that no one will rescue or adopt.
would we have spent money we do not have to save that puppy? yes we would have...but...
saints is a private rescue...we do not have to follow a budget or be finacially accountable..we can operate on a hope and a prayer and blind faith because if saints reaches the day that we can't pay our bills then i will sell my property that saints sits on and saints will cease to exist.
keeping hitting at the spca, keep eroding their donation base, see how much money they have in a few years to help animals...who is going to step up for the 18,000 animals a year that go thru their doors?
not me, we are full and broke.
