T H Martin, I am also one of the victims of the Bahama Time Share Swindle. I purchased a time share in 1991 at South Ocean Beach Resort. A very bad move for me. This resort has always been plagued with receivership. I've written to The Chamber Of Commerce, Nassau Newspapers, no one answers.

Parents, citizens, I pray you're paying close attention to this. The Attorney General's homework wasn't just eaten by the dog, but they didn't even come to school. If only we were talking about a child, but we're talking about your Attorney General. The article above doesn't even tell everything, but it should get your attention. While a family remains tortured and held hostage by the continued negligence of government officials, you are witness to the same system responsible to serving you. As a people I pray we have not the surrender to such realities.

The atrocities occur at the pound, which is RIGHT NEXT DOOR to the Humane Society. How could the Humane Society not be aware of these problems? Did they not know about the activities at the pound? Maybe the people at the Humane Society need to stop patting themselves on the back and washing their hands of guilt and start opening their eyes and fulfilling their mandate. Frankly, I think they are doing a lousy job.

The article is refering to the inhumane and horrible conditions at the Government pound NOT The Bahamas Humane Society. The Bahamas Humane Society continues to help Bahamian animals daily.

Hi Robin: I apologize for being upset about the bad press. I should be the bigger person, and I am personally, but when it could affect the opinion that people have on a situation the affects 100's of animals, I am perhaps sensitive. You are right, I have not been familiar with B2B for the past decade, and should be I guess...i will try to be a better person, more understanding, with the help of God all is possible!

Hello Buckles: The phone number for the Bahamas Humane Society is 323 5138, I thought that you would look that up in the phone book. I do NOT intend to give out Mr. Thomson's HOME (as treasurer he is a volunteer) phone number.If you give me your phone number I would be happy to call you, or you can send me your phone number on bhscruelty@gmail.com and we will call you. If you note our website is not terrible advanced, I just checked the National Trust website they do NOT have their financials posted. I am sorry that you feel that coming into the society is jumping through hoops, we would be happy for you to go to the BHS and show you the financials, we are not trying to hide anything. I don't know who has said what to cause you so much concern...Thanks for you time Kim Aranha, president of the BHS

Kim, it is not fair for you to have a bad attitude towards BahamasB2B. What did they do wrong? They responded to your concerns immediately. Would you demand an apology from a radio station for a factual error made by a call-in listener? Like the Humane Society, BahamasB2B is an underfunded community organization that has provided the Bahamas a tremendous service for nearly a decade. You should be cultivating a good rapport with them instead of attacking them.

You do not need my name to leave a phone number. I shouldn't have to attend your AGM or jump through hoops to get your financials. They should be posted on your website. Transparency, please.

Thank you Ella, it is nice to know somebody is big enough around here to apologize.It is a constant struggle to have people know the difference between the pound and the Bahamas Humane Society, and to make it even worse they are located very close to each other. I really appreciate you coming out and talking about your mistake. Come and visit our shelter some time we would be happy to show you around... Kim Aranha, President of the BHS

All you have to do is phone the Bahamas Humane Society and ask to talk to Donna Kiriaze, she is our accounts person, equally you might like to talk to Bill Thomson our treasurer. If I knew who you were I would give you his number, however I can't do that if I just see you code name. I hope the unfunded in inverted commas does not imply that you think that we are super rich and only pretending to have a struggle to make it....anyway what ever was intended, if you have your doubts about anything. I would be happy to talk to you once I have a name. Kim Aranha, President of the BHS P.S. If you had attended our AGM you would have had access to them there!

I hear lots of talk about the "underfunded" Humane Society. I did not see any financials on their website. I know, as a non-profit organisation, they are required by law to publish such info. I wonder how one might get a copy of the latest annual report.

I apologise for the problems my error has caused. I am a frequent poster on BahamasB2B but am not associated with them. The fault is mine. I have lived in Nassau all my life, but surprisingly enough, never knew there was a separate Government Pound, particularly since the Pound is also located in Chippingham. Unfortunately, I know that I am not the only one who didn't know the Pound is not the same as the Humane Society. Having always thought well of the Humane Society I am pleased to learn that it is not there where these inhumanities are occurring.

Thank you for your feedback. I think it goes without saying that we regret any inconvenience the article caused the good people at the Humane Society and wish the error had been discovered earlier. We responded as fast as technically possible once the error had been brought to our attention. Please feel free to add any articles you would like that highlight all the good things the Humane Society does for animals in The Bahamas. Thank you for visiting BahamasB2B.com.

Thank you DBK for your support, it's not as if we don't have enough problems with being shot in the foot by inaccurate reporting...I appreciate your kind words. Kim Aranha

You many not consider that that you owe "no apology to anyone", however, under the circumstances I personally feel that it would have been a nice and responsible gesture to express, at the very least, your regret for allowing a hugely inaccurate piece of reporting to be posted under your watch. Do you allow just anybody to say anything? Do you have any idea how much damage an article like that can cause the Bahamas Humane Society should people believe what was written? I can only hope that few people logged on and read what was written, and again, if I were in your shoes I would feel regret that something I was involved with could have caused such distress! Kim Aranha, Pesident of the Bahamas Humane Society.

Thanks for correcting the article so quickly!

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Once we were made aware of the error in this article we immediately made the necessary changes. However, BahamasB2B owes no apology to anyone as all we do is allow the public to post news articles.

It is NOT the Bahamas Humane Society where these horrors are occuing, but rather at the Government Pound nearby. Please remove or edit the post above as it could severly hurt the efforts of the Humane Society and others to get conditions improved at the Goverment Pound.

Your web site needs to immediately apologize to the Bahamas Humane Society and set the record straight. It was NOT the Bahamas Humane Society where these horrifying conditions were found it was The Government Canine Control Unit (The Pound). The Bahamas Humane Society continues to do a wonderful but often under appreciated job helping animals throughout the Bahamas.

With tourism down and expected lower, at least there will be fewer visitors to get robbed in Nassau now, right? (See related story in this issue.)

Violence is the reason that I refuse to visit Jamaica, don't tell me Nassau needs to be crossed off the list too. There should be enough resources to at least protect the tourist sites and downtown; if tourism dies, you gonna grow sugar cane instead?

Amen! We've been preaching this sermon for nearly ten years on BahamasB2B.com. Why indeed can Bahamians not have the same services from their banks, that banks in other countries offer their customers? Bahamian banks should be ashamed of themselves.

Yes, at least people speaking out.

The focus in this country is unwarrant. The John Travolta case is a waste of the tax payers money.In America News stations and various magazines bid everyady on info about movie stars etc.what we should focus on is issues that is close to home,real cases.However,I am glad to see that more Bahamians are advocating for whta they believe in.

another crooked Bahamian executive who never had nothing and use his position to enrich himself and family
