THE SO-CALLED CANINE ADVISORY COUNCIL WHICH CLAIMS TO LOOK INTO THE WELFARE OF STRAYS IS ORGANISING DOG CATCHING SPREES IN TANDEM WITH LOCAL COUNCILS. IT IS HAPPENING IN KLANG.. WE WERE ALERTED OF THIS BY AN ANIMAL ACTIVIST.
ANY COMMITTEE WHICH PRIDES ITSELF OF TAKING CARE OF ANIMAL WELFARE MUST NOT INVOLVE ITSELF IN DOG-CATCHING ACTIVITIES.
THE PERSON WHO HAS ORGANISED THIS EVENT HAD GONE ON A DOG CATCHING SPREE IN PETALING JAYA LAST YEAR AND HAD INVITED PAWS TO GO ALONG.
PAWS HAD TURNED DOWN THE INVITATION.
WE HAVE PROPOSED THAT A CANINE PROTECTION COUNCIL - MADE-UP OF ANIMAL ACTIVISTS, RESCUERS AND SHELTERS BE SET UP TO REPLACE CAT.
PLEASE WRITE TO AND DEMAND FOR THE COMMITTEE TO BE DISBANDED.
WE GONE ON OUR ROUNDES IN KLANG LATE LAST NIGHT AND FOUND SEVERAL FEEDERS STANDING AROUND LOOKING TROUBLED. THEIR COLONIES OF DOGS WERE ALL MISSING. WE SUSPECT THAT THEY WERE CAUGHT BY THIS DOG CATCHING SPREE. THESE DOGS ARE NOT A NUISNACE AND ONLY COME OUT AT NIGHT. SHOPKEEPSRS IN THE AREA THAT ALSO FEED THE DOGS; SAY THE CANINES HAD KEPT THEIR PREMISES SAFE FROM BREAK-INS. SOME OF THE MISSING DOGS HAVE BEEN SPAYED.
WE WERE ALSO INFORMED BY A FORMER CAT COMMITTEE MEMBER THAT THE KLANG DOG CATCHERS HAVE HURT AND MAIMED MANY DOGS BUT THE CAT COMMITTEE HAD COVERED THE MATTER-UP.
THIS IS DESPICABLE.
IF MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE PERSIST WITH THEIR FOLLY - THEY JUST HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT THE REVIEW PERIOD FOR COUNCILLORS IS UP THIS JUNE. WE WILL CAMPAIGN TO ENSURE THAT COUNCILLORS INVOLVED IN THIS GRISSLY DOG CATCHING EXERCISE ARE NOT RE APPOINTED
HERE IS WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP.
CONTACT THESE ORGANISATIONS AND TELL THEM ABOUT THE ILL-TREATMENT OF ANIMALS IN THE LOCAL COUNCIL POUNDS AND HOW THE CAT COMMITTEE PROTECTS THESE COUNCILS. TELL THEM THAT THE CAT COMMITTEE WHICH IS ALSO MADE-UP OF ANIMAL WELFARE GROUPS IS GOING WITH THE LOCAL COUNCILS ON DOG CATCHING SPREES.
TELL THEM THAT THE CAT COMMITTEE IS ALL FOR EUTHANASIA AND AGAINST TRAP NEUTER AND RELEASE.
THAT THE CAT COMMITTEE THROWS SPANNERS INTO THE WORK DONE BY INDEPENDENT RESCUE GROUPS.
