There are several animal welfare groups on our mailing list But we will certainly pursue this further with the other orgainsations as the situation has really gotten out of hand . Thank you so much for your support. Truly appreciated.<br /><br />SPSAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1420805718552473105.post-63618228105059381952010-02-23T16:28:48.062-08:002010-02-23T16:28:48.062-08:00Hi SPS.

The long list of contacts may not be practical, perhaps pick up to 3 or 4 of the most influential people on your list as targets for an email campaign. <br /><br />Three international organizations with stature:<br /><br />International Fund for Animal Welfare<br /> http://www.ifaw.org/ifaw_international/<br /><br />World Society for the Protection of Animals - Asia<br /> http://www.wspa-international.org/whoarewe/wspaasia/default.aspx<br /><br />United Animal Nations:<br /> http://www.uan.org/<br /><br />In the WSPA-Asia site, there was this statement, <br />http://www.wspa-international.org/whoarewe/wspaasia/Malaysian_king_signs_udaw.aspx<br /><br />"November 2008: Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin has joined 8,000 members of the Malaysian public in signing the Animals Matter to Me global petition in support of Universal Declaration on Animal Welfare (UDAW). "<br />Perhaps the king, and other major officials who signed the petition should be made aware of this horrible situation as well.<br /><br />Again, thanks so much for the tireless efforts that you and your friends have given to these poor dogs. The really do deserve better.<br /><br />take care,<br /> shireenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1420805718552473105.post-17271129286532205642010-02-22T22:11:26.714-08:002010-02-22T22:11:26.714-08:00Thank you very much Stacey - its support from peop...Thank you very much Stacey - its support from people such as you that keeps us going.<br /><br /><br />SPSAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1420805718552473105.post-45917276671486836512010-02-22T21:50:06.497-08:002010-02-22T21:50:06.497-08:00I live in the US now and I am also wondering how I...I live in the US now and I am also wondering how I can donate. I am so distraught by all this, it's my first time looking at you website, and I honestly cannot stop crying right now. I will consider mailing a check, but I will also try asking my relatives in Malaysia if they could donate on my behalf. I have emailed every single person on the list, it's the least I can do for now. I thank everyone involved in this organization for your efforts and love. I will definitely join the fight to end such disgraceful, inhumane, EVIL acts, when I return home from the US at the end of this year. Meanwhile, please keep up the good work. God bless you all, and the poor animals who need it the most.Staceynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1420805718552473105.post-58371078858065533392010-02-22T20:39:43.925-08:002010-02-22T20:39:43.925-08:00Dear Shireen,

The only way out appears to be to stop all the councils from catching strays and keeping them in their pounds. Which means pressuring the Selangor govt to allow an independent entity to be set up, with representatives from the various animal welfare groups on the board of this entity, to do the catching of strays and keeping them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
