I want to remind everyone the role I’ve assigned myself in this welfare crisis: Access To Care…which I believe EVERY pet should have.
I could be in a clinic charging unaffordable prices, but I’ve chosen to do it for free in the streets. This is my place.
My colleague does free mobile spay/neuter; I give no-cost care; some rescue, and others beat the drum as loudly as they can to get City Hall to wake up. We’re all working towards the same goal.
I did not intend to undermine anyone’s mission or downplay abuse. And for that I apologize. It’s there, it’s horrible, I’ve intervened when I can, and it needs to be stopped.
But I’m also a voice for the folks doing a pretty damn good job in tough situations. A difficult tightrope.
Until we can create systemic change, what I do know is NOT working together is NOT working.
For any boots on the ground actually doing the work…and enduring the suffering, the smell, the apathy I will always support you.
Better days ahead, I hope.
