Death Row

The reality for stray dogs here is that they are rounded up routinely and sent to the pound. Rescuers and animal lovers get frantic trying to help. But like a rescuer friend of mine said, you can help one batch but then there is another and another. One solution is to spay/neuter strays to control stray population.

The number of fosterers and adopters are few. Most people prefer to buy animals which are pure breeds from the shops. Pet shops are the public face of puppy farms.  Businesses only make a profit if their expenses are less than their revenue. Unfortunately this is prioritised over the health, happiness and welfare of the animal. There have been many reports of the cruelty inflicted on animals by unscrupulous backyard breeders. On one hand, commercial backyard breeding becomes rampant whilst strays are put down regularly. A sad, sad situation indeed.

Is the plight of strays, the environment and the homeless people not part of our social responsibility?   Why not adopt an animal instead of buying from commercial breeders? You could be saving the precious life and ending the unnecessary suffering of a dog on death row.

SOS!!!!

 
We will be PUT TO SLEEP in 2 days time in the SETAPAK POUND this FRIDAY if no one comes and RESCUES and FOSTERS us. PLEASE SAVE US!!! :-(  Message from Malaysian Independent Animal Rescuers about 16 dogs on death row
