Stop The Cruelty To Animals
Stop The Cruelty To Animals
A group of big, burly men in red fatigues descended on Teluk Intan yesterday morning (14.1.2010) and went on a rampage against stray dogs and unlicensed dogs. They hunted down the unsuspecting, defenceless preys, using a lasso on a long pole to drag the dogs into a truck, breaking the necks of some in the process.
The screams, terrified shrieks of these creatures pleading for their lives and for some vestige of humanity towards their plight were heart wrenching and disturbing. Traumatised children and adults were seen crying helplessly, as they watched from coffee shops, grocery shops, clinics, banks, the market, their homes, this violent, almost surreal scene unfold before their very eyes during the busiest time of day in this usually peaceful town.
The caught animals were dumped unceremoniously, dead or alive, into a truck and when questioned by a witness in a housing estate, one of the men said they had been mobilized from KL for Zoo Negara. Apparently, the carcasses are to be fed to the tigers at our National Zoo! We find this a little hard to swallow. If it is true, does that mean these men in red uniforms from KL will carry out stray dog-cleansing in every town each time the food supply and funds for tigers in Zoo Negara are depleted?
There are many animal loving non-Muslim and Muslims in Teluk Intan and throughout Malaysia who are very disturbed and concerned with this inhuman method of checking the stray population. Also, is it mere coincidence that this should happen just two weeks after new dog licenses were issued by MBTI? We hope the authorities will provide some explanation to the concerned residents of this town.

They shot dead my future wife’s dog in front of the gate of her house in Ipoh 2 weeks ago at 8:19 AM . With pride on their faces …
Non registered dog ,out of the compound, even in front of the house it keeps safer, may be shot dead same as a criminal …
At the same time, every house got grids same a jails because no one feel safe at all !!!, Criminals are attacking people in their houses, their cars , their shops and remain unidentified and unpunished ..
Stray dogs are a real problem for safety on the road and for the walkers . This problem can be solve in a human way …
For those who don’t have dog at home . Just Imagine this to happend to your loved cat,because many people around dont like cats and then dont care about their life …
Will you accept they kill it almost in front of you ?
The way some city councils handle the problem is violent and unhuman .
I couldn’t imagine this cruelty would still exist in the twin towers country …
As a matsalleh who trust in Malaysia as a partner country,and always promote its values overseas ; this event made me gloomy .And moreover , skeptical …
Please ,kind people of any belief or opinion ,Make your best for cruelty on every animals to stop .
Malaysia would make a big step forward !!!

I am so embarrassed to claim myself as a Malaysian when you see some of your own people carrying out such inhumane act.
These bunch of people are so CRUEL I can’t believe what I am reading.
As in one of Gandhi quotes:
“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated”.
**Please help to forward this news to as much friends as possible(esp. in foreign country) Perhaps by spreading the news,and creating awareness could at least help these poor souls.
Cruel.
Guess we are still in the dark ages
Recently heard the following:
“It has been found out that the men were paid RM45 by MPTI for each dog caught. A few lucky dogs were claimed by their owners at the MPTI at RM12 each. Others were not so fortunate. One was put down so they say.”
We do not know what happens after that. We just pray they are not being fed alive to Zoo Negara’s tigers as told to people by those burly men.
