Mandy, who volunteers for both the Malaysian Dogs Deserve Better and AnimalCare visited the pound today to deliver our weekly ration for the Klang pound dogs and what she told us is indeed very depressing.
Here are excerpts of Mandy’s findings as well as photos taken by her.
According to the caretakers most of the dogs are being put down yesterday morning to 'clean up' the place before the DVS visited the place yesterday afternoon.
(We expected this and even informed Klang MP Charles Santiago that his staff should not have announced his visit.)
I heard that the big shots from MPK are coming down to the pound this afternoon at 3 also that's why they were hosing down the place this morning.
(We were also told that they were going to have a briefing at the MPK HQ at 4.00pm - but both the briefing as well as the visit to the pound did not take place.)
Now the enclosure have around 2-6 dogs each only.
(Thank heavens - we have pictures as evidence as well as the recording by the TV3 camera crew.)
They must have put down close to a 100 dogs and the Dalmatian which had been roaming freely outside was also nowhere to be found.
The pups are being put out in the sun too and some look really weak. However, a volunteer from AnimalCare who came later brought some plastic sheets to be used on the floor of the makeshift guardhouse to place all the pups in order to shield them from rain and shine.
(MDDB HAS ALREADY SENT AN XXL CAGE FOR THE MOTHER DOG AND PUPS AFTER HEARING THIS FROM MANDY. HOPEFULLY THE POUND WORKERS HAVE ASSEMBLED THE CAGE FOR THE MUM AND HER PUPS.)
I was also told by the caretakers that their 'superior' from MPK made some allegations about us (the independent rescuers). The pound workers were told that we had made postings on the internet alleging that they clubbed and killed some of the dogs.
(This is fitnah of the highest order. None of our blogs had ever mentioned this.)
I told the caretakers that we have never made any of those false allegations before, and we need the public to know that the 'superiors' in MPK were making false allegations against us.
These false allegations have made the caretakers very angry and they refuse to let us take any snapshots when I visited this morning.
They were told by their superiors that we can feed them but not take photos.
(Of course - the pictures have made things rather uncomfortable for them.)
My question is this, What are they afraid of, since they refuse to let us take snapshots? I can only think of this, they have not been properly feeding and maintaining the dogs and the enclosures that's why they have doubts on themselves.
(We think so too.)
Another matter i want to highlight is they do not use any detergents or bleach to clean the place and it could lead to an outbreak of diseases such as distemper, corona and parvo.
(This is what we mean by mismanagement. they want to catch strays and pets and hold them in enclosures but don't have the most crucial stuff - disinfectant (bleech) and detergent. Ask any vet and they'll tell you how important bleech is when handling dogs. I wonder why the Department of Veterinary Services (DVS) don't tell the pound this?)
That's why most of the dogs are sick and most of the ones we rescued before are sick too. It is because they are infected when they are being put in the filthy enclosures without any proper disinfection.
We should put our views in writing and those who are interested to go tomorrow can contact me too. We need more voice to improve the situation.

We should also highlight the fact that they're trying to sweep the dirt under the carpet by putting most of the dogs to sleep on Monday in order to look as if they've been doing a proper job.
(Yep, that's the way things work around in places where guilty people have been caught red-handed.)
They are not! We need more enclosures to put sick dogs away from other healthy ones and dogs with collars should also be segregated from the strays.
(Yes, way to go Mandy. Hopefully more people like Mandy would come forward to help the voiceless. Attached pics taken by Mandy.)

How can they do that...those poor little doggies never had a chance to be loved before they were being put to sleep :( Look at their innocent faces in the photographs...they just don't know what's going on and what's coming after them!
