Feel free to browse through my portfolio, which contains selection of works that I did under Save these dogs
I am not an animal lover. Sometimes I even hate them. But I guess I have grown to stand at the neutral side. Anyway, one doesn’t need to be an animal/dog lover to feel for this abandoned dogs and puppies.
So, one of the current big news in Malaysia is this:
About 300 stray dogs were rounded up by Pulau Ketam residents and deported to an isolated island to fend for themselves.
The residents of Pulau Ketam sent some 300 stray dogs to exile on a remote island where the harsh conditions almost certainly guarantee a horrible death. Of the 300 dogs sent there, more than three-quarters are presumed to be already dead.
Pulau Ketam village head Cha Keng Lee said most residents felt that the move to send the animals to the nearby island would resolve the stray dog problem. The uninhabited island would also offer more space to the dogs, he said.
“Our aim was not to be cruel to the dogs. But we strongly feel that the stray dog problem must be solved. When the dogs come up to the platform, they defecate all over. Sometimes, they would also bite the children,” he said.
When boyfriend told me about this news, I thought the dogs were being dumped to an island like in Madagascar cartoon, except that it is so much smaller with no foods. But heck, it is mangrove swamp! Siao!
Besides SPCA, there is a few independent rescuers too, such as TV Smith and the fellow animal lovers. You can go to MyCen for more update of the dog-rescue mission from and how to contribute to the mission (physically and financially).
