PetFinder.my in TheStar Metro 2008-10-30

AndyKoh · #1 10-30-2008, 12:44 PM

Dear All,

Lost and kidnapped dogs from PetFinder.my have been featured today in TheStar's Metro section, Page 1 & 2.

Here's the online copy of it:

Thieves target pedigree pets in the Klang Valley

Hope that this will increase the awareness of pet owners. And there must definitely be a much tougher penalty on such crimes. The stress and emotional torture endured by the owner is not unlike that of losing his own family member.

Our full list of Lost & Found profiles are here:

waaaa...best la andy kena interview...

AndyKoh · #5 10-30-2008, 01:54 PM

Hahaa, not much of an interview lah... more like PetFinder is providing them with information on the lost and kidnapped pets...

It's good that TheStar is now carrying more pet-related articles, so pet owners are more well informed and hopefully will get more people interested in animal welfare.

Petfinder.com.my founder Andy Koh said his six-month-old site had since received more than 50 lost pet cases involving both dogs and cats.

One which he could recall was a member losing her Bull Terrier dog in Selayang.

“It was dognapped from her house and the abductors demanded a ransom from them. Later on, her friend’s bull terrier was also dognapped by the same gang,” Koh said.

“They paid the ransom but when they got their dogs back, they found them to have been brutally tortured. One of the dogs died a few days later while the other was hospitalised for serious injury,” he said.

“The last I heard from them was that the police had arrested someone, but I am not sure of the final outcome,” Koh said.

He said the dogs might have been stolen for breeding purposes as they were mostly pure breed dogs and were expensive.

neway dogs also get abducted so no wonder for human kidnapping is also increasing nowadays..
