I received this horribly distressing email last night, and hope that by posting it here at least a few abandoned pets will be given a chance for a new life.

PS Please note that this email is discussing Malaysian pounds!

***Fwd: ADOPT A STRAY FROM THE SELAYANG POUND***

Dear all,

Thank you very much for all your concerned emails. We are trying very hard to "save" the dogs in the Selayang Pound. Unfortunately to be able to do things the "politically" correct way will take time and this means that the dogs there will continue suffering.

It is also important to note, that even the cats that are at the pound are not well looked after. On our last visit there on Tuesday, we saw 3 dead foetuses in the cattery, and a female cat that was still in labour. No veterinary care was provided at all, although we notified the staff on duty of the condition. No efforts were made to remove the foetuses either. See Cleopatra the Labrador for pictures.

We would also like to urge all dog owners to keep their dogs safe and not to let your dogs roam on the streets freely. Ensure that your dog is on a leash at all times when taking him/her out for walks. All free roaming dogs will be caught by the cruel hired dog catchers regardless of whether your dog is licensed!

1. Adopt a Dog from the Selayang Pound

Meanwhile, we have discovered that we can however give some immediate relief to the dogs at the Selayang Pound by adopting them. However as we have limited resources we will not be able to adopt all of them. So if each and every one of you could adopt a dog from the pound, we can all make a big difference.

Please visit here for details on how you can help.

Joanne and Leigh have managed to save the dog with the padlock and heavy chain over the weekend. The poor boy was in severe pain as the heavy chain and padlock had eaten into his neck and he had a severe wound on his neck due to it. The poor boy could barely walk when they took him from the pound. He is now being treated by a vet, and his overall condition is being assessed.

If you are unable to view the picture, please look here.

2. Give Strays a Chance

Strays, dogs and cats alike, have received a lot of flak from the public over the years. Strays have been cited to be a nuisance and are even categorised as pests by the local councils... Are strays really that bad? Please visit http://cleopatrathelabrador.blogspot.com for full story.

I personally don't believe in "bad strays", its more like irresponsible pet owners who didn't get their pets spayed!

I'm going to screw the next person who condemns me when i said HeeChul is spayed. I mean, if you disagree with spaying your pet there's nothing i can do, but to condemn me when it is the right thing to do (Come on, multiple websites of "what makes a responsible pet owner" can't be wrong, and then YOU, right? PLEASE!), you must be brainless.

You see, if you didn't get your pets spayed, you're just contributing to the number of strays which are already succumbing to the cruel hands of Malaysians. Even if you decided not to spay your pets, please at least with 100% assurance that your pet is NOT contributing to the stray population.

If you don't like what you have read, do something about it. Don't just sit and feel angry. Do something. Even merely spreading the word is good enough.

While you might have no power to control the strays from breeding, you have the power from ensuring your own pet who is under your control doesn't contribute to the stray population too. There are just too many strays in Malaysia, and a lot of them are suffering because we are cruel.

Be a responsible pet owner!

Please do spread the word!

Hopefully the authorities will have brains for once and do something about it, i mean, honestly, PLEASE LAR!
We're making our beloved country "lose-face" in terms of animal humanity ok!

So what if we're up in space, when down here animals are suffering because of our doings?

I don't get it.
