FOR Dr. Ignacio Dela Cruz to say his department is providing services to poor pet owners is not a very good way of putting it.
I hope he meant to say that he is providing services to people that can’t afford a clinic. Of course, we are poor thanks to the CNMI government, but to label suffering harmless citizens as poor is unacceptable.
Dr. Edgar Tudor, you should already know that if Dr. Dela Cruz is not able to treat a certain animal because of lack of equipment or technology, he should refer the pet owner to your private clinic for further examination. I believe Dr. Edgar Tudor’s, clinic will stay afloat even if the government’s clinic is open. Especially, when it does not provide services on a daily basis.
This dispute is really turning into a cat and dog fight. Who’s the dog? Who’s the victim? It’s a shame you read this topic in the news almost in the paper every week. They should both stop their barking and start purring because just like what the governor said, the government is pro-business.
Do you still think so?
Dr. Tudor you should already know that your clinic is top of the line and the government’s not there to brush you off. Settle your differences because this has got to come to an end.
