Strays being poisoned

Dear readers, please read this http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2008/4/26/central/21045546&sec=central

People are reporting that they saw DBKL vans throwing poisonous meat out on roads for dogs to be poisoned. Reports are flowing in that some dogs are seen dead.

If indeed DBKL dog-catching unit did this, I hope they are put behind bars. Because I believe the Council has guidelines and policies for dog-catching. And hello ? Isn't it dog catching and not dog murdering ?

Malaysia is only embarassing itself further in this sense with these dog catching units. I will suggest that the Government of Malaysia close down all dog catching units because it is obvious these units are dog murdering units. Let SPCA take charge. They are the animal experts. Let the SPCA and the Veterinary Departments of Malaysia take charge. Give them the allocation instead. And let them manage stray dogs the proper and humane way.

Malaysia's City Councils are truly disgraceful and the dog catching units should revamp their unit name to be dog murdering units. From holding guns and firing at dogs to feeding dogs with poisonous meat. Wow. These are the people who have the most brilliant minds ! "Brilliant" !

I suggest that Opposition led states should take the first steps. CM Penang Lim Guan Eng and MB Tan Sri Khalid should lead the pack and shut down their states' dog catching units. Give the budget allocation to SPCA and State Veterinary Departments instead. Do it !
