It has nothing to do with the dexterity or speed of the surgeries from the part of the Indian surgeons.There are a large number of expert Indian surgeons here-some of them have done surgeries in thousands,ask Chinni Krishna of Blue Cross. Even our Idukki SPCA in Kerala has done a couple of thousand surgeries in Idukki District Ask Avis Lyons of Thiruvananthapuram .She has been doing the fast spaying for the past few years and her surgeons never complained about it as being such a time consuming " operation " .. In fact Ms.Avis herself is partly responsible for this weird press release from the part of the Kerala Animal Husbandry Department and the City Corporation Thiruvananthapuram.She has been a pain in the neck for these corporation and husbandry people of Thiruvananthapuram,always protesting and even physically obstructing when they catch and kill strays in the name of ABC.She has filed so many complaints and cases against these officials and has put them in a really tight spot. In one of the cases she has filed which is now being heard in the Hon.High court of Kerala these people are so scared that they at first made a 'Gandhian' to issue a notice for killing strays.Then they somehow obtained an order from the Ombudsman to kill the strays-- which was to be revoked as per the recent Supreme Court orderon the subject. When this ploy also failed these people have come up with new theories and 'surgical inventions'. Mr.Merritt there is no merit in the argument of these people and there are a number of excellent surgeons in Kerala and India and the AWBI has already asked and invited doctors from Kerala to undergo training in such surgeries. None from these complaining group of 'viagral surgeons' has enrolled for that.
