In reality, the children are learning from the adults, not the other way around ... learning to maim and kill ... at a young and tender impressionable age in their formative years ... ... and that is why it is essential that the awareness education be targeted at the adults (HK SPCA is doing this in the community) and not school kids. And having successfully created an environment and community which is animal tolerant and strays tolerant (which accepts having managed strays colonies living amongst the community), the effectiveness of TNR was fully realised with the outcome that HK SPCA no longer needed to carry out the cruel and inhumane act of killing off healthy animals in the shelter to make way for new ones brought in because they could finally control the strays reproduction problem, effectively reducing the number of strays through TNR + adult awareness education programs held amongst the residential community.{good} Quote:

Heres something for everybody
Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done. Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hit, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you are because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that! -Rocky Balboa- {cool}{cool}{cool}{cool} |
Re: Spca ampang in need of more adopters...
Thanks Kimi ...
I got something for everyone too: THE POWER OF LATERAL THINKING When the Americans started their space exploration program, they faced a peculiar problem. The ordinary pen could not be used in the space because of lack of gravitational pull. So they spent around 10 million dollars to invent a pen that could be used at space, under the water etc. The time taken by Americans to invent this “wonder pen” was around five years. The Russians at that time were also doing some space exploration and they faced the same problem as encountered by the Americans (lack of suitable pen to write in space). But they did not try to invent any so called “wonder pen”. They adopted another approach. Guess what they did? The answer is very simple. THEY USED A PENCIL. That is what we call LATERAL THINKING or right brain thinking. So let us start using our right brain right now. |

Saya pun panic bila nampak banyak yang perlu di adopt sana saya pun create a petfinder account so that chances of adoption lebih bagus.. Anak-anak lucky,comel senang diadopt. Maknya yang kesian. I on and off visitnya, Photo pun di Petfinder dan,promotenya by word of mouth also ,Dalam satu visit bila saya membawa potential adopter untuk melihatnya TAK DAPAT saya findnya. I panic. Don’t tell me what people tell me is TRUE. , TRUE enough hati saya stop… tak henti-henti saya menangis..I have sent her to her death bed! I TOLD YOU SO keep ringing in my ears. I refused to believe people who has warn me(Why so many people warm me? They kena the same treatment too!) Kalau muka voiceless ini tidak cute, lovable,depressed looking to the people there, Habislah dia! Bukan EUTHANASIA ! but PUT TO SLEEP in nice words(KILLED)!! NO CHANCE given! I know everywhere pun short of staff but that doesn’t mean that they have to be so cold to the yang unadoptable. I believe why are there so many independent rescuers who fork out their own money and their effortto save these animals are because they tak mahu hantarnya ke mati lagi .Mereka cuba save them tapi malangnya strays susah ditangkap dan di spayed tanpa bantuan professional macam SPCA. And in the end breeding doesn’t stop. Mind you a lot of rescuers are elderly citizens who cannot afford and bring these voiceless to spay and end up more innocents voiceless They are compassionate but lack of space and resources to help them and end up breeding them instead! I too pay a high price(a life of a depressed and abandoned voiceless) for lesson learnt.Through her I get to understand more about rescuers and their efforts. Sakit hati saya pun tak mahu cakap lagi. May she rest in peace after all what she went through and hope she blessed in her next life….. {ohmygod}{ohmygod} |

Re: Spca ampang in need of more adopters...
Animaluver, your post buat saya nangis (I don't care dan saya tak malu nangis) sebab my friends and I went through the very same thing ... kucing kurang comei, bulu tak cukup panjang in some human punyer myopic eyes ... tapi healthy and given a death sentence not allowed to live simply because it did not have a human house address.
My friends and I trapped, neutered and released and put in efforts to set up feeding stations in as discrete places as possible and tidy up the place every single day, but as you know ... 2-leggeds are everywhere ... and they act as if the whole earth belongs to them (2-leggeds alone) and no extra legs are allowed ... they are a NUISANCE! Food and food bowls (we buy with our own hard earned $$ and we share our rezeki with them that are less fortunate than us and cannot stand up for their rights and have no voice!) are simply thrown away ... let them starve to death, say those cold-hearted 2-leggeds (ramai skolah sampai ke universiti!). Caregivers are scolded and threatened ... That is why the modern SPCAs like in Hong Kong go out with well-designed programs strategically planned to convert the mindset of the adults in the community and create a condusive environment in order to let the healthy strays (tak comei tak aper, they have the right to life amongst us in our community) live in managed stray colonies. Animaluver, to trap the strays is not impossible but takes a LOT of time, patience and love ... spend time feeding at the same place and at the same time, don't drop food and simply go away ... spend time sitting there quietly and whisper soft, gently words of love to them ... I personally have spent up to more than 1 year sitting, feeding and talking gently to 4 very, very, very feral female cats every single day rain or shine, working day or weekends, public holiday or not ... before I could gain their trust and confidence to enter my cat carrier to eat so that I could close the door successfully on them, immediately cover the whole carrier with a curtain and tie up the carrier door with a nylon rope for extra security ... and zasssssss!!!! These girls are still alive, healthy, living the full and happy life that they have the right to (albeit minus a human house address) and fed everyday. They run happily towards me the moment my car arrives and chatters happily telling me about their day and sees me to my car ... they sit and watch me till I disappear or run after it until their little legs cannot keep up ... but their eyes looking at me each time I leave and the slow wink they give me burns into my heart and mind as if they are telling me this might be their last time with me and that we will never meet again ... it is very, very touching! |

Alley Cat Allies - The Cats' Leading Advocate
1 Attachment(s)
Found this very interesting piece at the Alley Cat Allies website (http://www.alleycat.org):
Alley Cat Allies is committed to advocating for an end to the killing of cats, leading the movement for change, and protecting the rights of cats—and the people who care for them. Get informed about the issues impacting cats and what you can do to make a difference. Lives Count, Secrets Kill Animal pounds and shelters kill more cats entrusted to their custody than they save. But the killing usually happens in secret, away from the public eye. While some facilities keep track of their own numbers, few ever reveal them to the government, let alone the public. As part of the Lives Count, Secrets Kill Campaign, Alley Cat Allies is urging state governments to pass laws requiring these facilities to keep track of every cat they take into custody—and to report to the public each and every fatality. Citizens nationwide deserve to know the real fates of animals inside pounds and shelters. It’s time to bring the facts into the light—and stop the killing once and for all. Illinois – Killing 60,000 Cats, Unable to Account for Thousands More More than 60,000 cats were killed in Illinois animal pounds and shelters in 2006. That’s 5,000 cats killed every month, and 160 each day. On top of that, these same facilities couldn’t account for over 17,000 cats. No one knows what happened to them. These findings come from an analysis conducted by Alley Cat Allies of Illinois Department of Agriculture reports collected from the 247 animal pounds and shelters licensed by the state that handled cats in 2006. Illinois is one of the few states with laws already requiring pounds and shelters to report the fate of animals in their custody. In the same year that 60,000 cats were killed and 17,000 went missing, the Illinois Department of Agriculture didn’t review the reports. It didn’t even total up those numbers. And it didn’t penalize or investigate a single facility for failing to account for so many fatalities. Alley Cat Allies and its supporters care about these deaths. Everyone who believes that each cat’s life counts, please join us in our campaign to end the secrecy—and end the killing. Take Action - Insist on the Truth Unfortunately, Illinois is not alone. Across the country, the majority of all cats entering animal pounds and shelters are killed. And most of it happens in secret. You deserve to know what happens to cats in your state. Insist on strong laws requiring animal pounds and shelters to be accountable for the animals in their care. If you are disturbed by the troubling picture that our analysis uncovered in Illinois, then please, add your voice to our movement. Tell Your Story of Shelter Deception Have you found a stray cat or kitten and taken him or her to your local pound or shelter trying to help the animal, only to find out later that the facility killed the cat you wanted to save? It’s an easy mistake to make. For decades, these facilities have been urging the public to bring them stray animals, styling themselves as animal “shelters,” “rescue leagues,” and “protection societies.” But the most comprehensive study to date indicates that over 70% of cats entering U.S. pounds and shelters are killed. Tell Us http://www.alleycat.org/NetCommunity/Page.aspx?pid=574 Have you and an animal you tried to help been victims of deception by pounds or shelters? Maybe, like Cynthia and Claude, the couple who tried to save Rocky and Spring, you were personally told at the shelter that the stray you brought in would not be killed. Or maybe you brought a cat to a "no kill" shelter only to learn the animal was later killed. Whatever form of deception you experienced, please share your story with Alley Cat Allies by filling out our testimonial submission form. You can also upload photos and documents to help tell your story. Through our Lives Count-Secrets Kill Campaign, we are documenting and publicizing the kill-rate statistics. But the cats need you to do your part—tell the story of the animals you tried to save so that they are not forgotten. Tell your story to stop the pounds and shelters from misleading the public and covering up the killing. Tell your story to help bring the killing to an end. |
What’s Best for Cats: Being Alive or Dead?
From Alley Cat Allies website ay http://www.alleycat.org/NetCommunity/Page.aspx?pid=402
What’s Best for Cats: Being Alive or Dead? Many animal control pounds and shelters operate on the notion that if a cat can’t live in a human home, it’s best to kill her. They use individual anecdotes of sick and abused stray cats to extrapolate that millions of these animals are better off dead than alive. But research shows otherwise. The bottom line is: being killed is not in cats’ best interests. • Veterinary studies show that stray cats’ incidence of trauma and disease is low, and their infection rate—4%—is the same or lower than in house cats. • Evolutionary research shows that the natural habitat of cats is outdoors in close proximity to humans. The species Felis catus came into existence 8,000 to 10,000 years ago when humans shifted from hunting and gathering to farming. Initially attracted by grain stores with plentiful rodent populations, cats have been living side by side with humans ever since. • A recent national public opinion poll shows that 81% of Americans believe it is more humane to leave a stray cat outside to live out her life than to have her caught and killed. Intentionally killing a cat is a criminal offense in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, regardless of ownership. Anti-cruelty laws apply to all cats—companion, abandoned, lost, and feral. |

Great... let's give each other a big hug and squeeze till we're out of breath and gasping for air... tomorrow is PetFinder's birthday and it's time for us all to put aside our differences and celebrate the success our hardworking community has achieved in finding homes for 1,200 animals! {good}
I know that a lot of you guys, especially the rescuers, are putting in a lot of hard work behind the scenes, and certainly deserve our deepest respect and appreciation. *Salute* |
