Sadly, ringing in the New Year went belly up when we were held up by gunpoint by a group of men pretending to be prospective customers. After gaining access, the thugs rounded up all the staff while they cleared us out and damaged our property before getting away with our office and clinic computers, cell phones, personal belongings belonging to our staff and ripping out all the cabling to our switchboard and security cameras. The costs to recoup what has been taken or damaged is excessive for an animal welfare to replace. It is unthinkable that an organisation that dedicates all its efforts into helping sick and suffering animals in the poorest communities could be a target!
