The world is watching how the Bahamian Government will help with the lack of funding for the Humane Society. So many people from around the world stand with the people of the Humane Society in their fight to receive the monies promised by the government. I, like so many other tourists, will not return to the Grand Bahamas until the government takes responsibility, in a compassionate and responsible manner, for the welfare of its animal population.

Investing in a group like the Humane Society, whom with the funding, could restore the faith the rest of the world has in the great people of the Bahamas and its natural beauty. If the government thinks it can wait it out and ignore the problem they are sadly mistaken. Like the Humane Society, those of us who follow the fight from abroad will not forget and give up.

I will continue to spread the word in the states to the atrocious conditions of animal welfare on the island.  Having experienced first hand the plight of animals I will never forget the amount of animals I saw fending off garbage on streets or roaming so sadly through the small towns.

I implore every Bahamian to urge your government to do the right thing for its animals, people, and tourist industry.
