Update:
We were having a discussion on vets, in my case lack of them especially a veterinarian that deals with chickens.
I told you all that I had spoken too the rescue for battery hens, as I had been searching on their map for vets nearest to my location.
Eventually I found one around 30 miles or there abouts from here. So on calling too inquire if they are able too book an appointment if need be in the future.
There was a message on their answering machine, that it was a five day waiting time for any bookings. But I waited to speak to a receptionist. And as usual I was told that no vet would be available for chickens to be seen as their one and only vet had retired.
So i called back too the rescue to inform them that their directions for a vet was no longer available and put my suggestion in on advertising for a vet for our part of the country plus advertising for retired vets.
To my pleasent surprise the young lady I spoke too, called me on Thursday morning, (she was really interested in helping after all
).
She said she had spoken too her manager and would call me back if there was anything positive on the vet situation but as for the retired vet suggestion I made, she felt that was doubtful.
Not the best of news but it came as a relief that the staff are really trying to help these battery girls, but sadly I still suspect that it's the management that could be improved. My reason for thinking this is... I've seen adverts in other parts of this country in the past, advertising for retired vets to help out in various rescues.
IMHO, The managers should be trying harder, as the saying goes... if you don't ask you don't get. Where on earth is their enthusiasm?
From what I am witnessing, in a majority of work areas, (not all) it's the management and CEO's that are failing most companies. I am under the impression that the higher they go the lazier they get.
oh it’s already Sunday! I am up again with my usual stuff.
so very sad. One can not truly prepare themselves for this - even if one knows, you grieve as much as you like, and if you want to talk you o ow we are all here.
