Default Re: A No-Kill Animal Shelter

Tiggerroo, it is a noble aspiration.

Sabrina Yap did similar thing with Furry Friends Farm, but the shelter got filled up to the brim in the blink of an eye ... and poor Sabrina, every photo of her shows such exhausion on the face.

That is why locally, TNR needs to be pursued more aggressively to reduce the stray multiplication and all residents community committees need to be persuaded (or intimidated, hehhehh!!) to participate in TNR for all the strays in their areas instead of just complaining and doing nothing except call the local authorities to catch/shoot the strays or dumping them somewhere else so that it becomes somebody else's problem and not theirs.

And the SPCA needs to have education programs for the residents community committees and all public areas like pasar, shopping complexes like they do in Hong Kong.

They cannot just give talks in schools because it is the parents and adults that commit the crime and forbid their children from cultivating a love for the animals.

I recently quoted the true example where a kid proudly and happily rescued and took home some weeks old kittens that haven't even opened their eyes from a garbage dump and the parents scolded him for his apparent foolishness, took away the kittens and left them to die amidst heavy rain at some roadside in the middle of the night.

It is the adults that need to be addressed and educated.
