RE. THE SEVERAL NEGATIVE COMMENTS REGARDING THE SOI DOG PARTY POST BELOW. THE PARTY WAS PAID FOR PERSONALLY BY JOHN AND GILL DALLEY AS A THANK YOU TO THE PHUKET STAFF WHO HAD WORKED INCREDIBLY HARD THROUGHOUT THE PREVIOUS WEEKS OWING TO STAFF SHORTAGES AND SICKNESS. SDF NEVER HAVE AND NEVER WILL USE DONORS FUNDS TO ENTERTAIN STAFF OR PROSPECTIVE DONORS. JOHN AND GILL AND NEARLY ALL THE MANAGEMENT OF SDF BOTH IN THAILAND AND OVERSEAS ARE VOLUNTEERS WORKING LONG HOURS 7 DAYS PER WEEK AT THEIR OWN EXPENSE. EVEN DR. SU’S RECENT TRIP TO THE US TO LEARN NEW SKILLS WAS PAID FOR ENTIRELY BY ONE OF OUR US BASED VOLUNTEERS. THE REASON PEOPLE SUPPORT SDF IS THAT THEY KNOW THEIR DONATIONS GO TO HELP ANIMALS NOT ON EXPENSE ACCOUNTS! SDF IS CURRENTLY SPENDING FAR MORE ON THE LIVESTOCK SHELTERS THAN IS BEING DONATED TO THIS CAUSE, AND ARE WORKING HARD TO FIND ALTERNATIVE SOURCES OF SUPPLY AS THE CURRENT EXPENDITURE IS UNSUSTAINABLE. IT IS INTERESTING THAT MOST NEGATIVE COMMENTS ARE FROM PERSONS FOR WHOM WE HAVE NO RECORD OF EVER DONATING TO HELP THESE DOGS.
