Of Muzzles, Banned Breeds And....other Things
20th Apr 2011, by AnimalCare
Ref: http://www.myanimalcare.org/2011/04/yb-hannah-yeoh -replies.htmlMy friend has these to share:Muzzling a dog:The muzzle is used by vets when handling a snappy dog, not for dogs out on a walk. The muzzle makes it difficult for the dog to breathe properly and is unnatural and stressful as well. All dogs cool down their body by breathing through their mouth and by muzzling those dogs while out on the leash is not only cruel, it can cause the dog to go into heat stroke and ultim...

A Mother And 3 Kittens, Dumped
19th Apr 2011, by AnimalCare
One of our panel vets called me this afternoon. A lady by the name of Lillian had brought a mother-cat and 3 kittens to the clinic, asking for help in spaying the mother-cat and getting the kittens adopted. I said we'll pay for the spaying of the mother if the vet feels she is fit enough to be spayed. Apparently, someone had dumped the poor mother and her 3 kittens in front of Lillian's house. The mother-cat. She is practically skin and bones. Poor thing. I could see her ...

An Appeal To The ADUN Of Subang Jaya
19th Apr 2011, by AnimalCare
I have just sent this email to YB Hannah Yeoh:Dear YB Hannah,As a resident of Subang Jaya, I am very disturbed by this news: http://www.myanimalcare.org/2011/04/what-shame.htm lIt is not the fault of the dogs that they exist or have been brought into the country. It is the fault of the humans, and perhaps, even the immigration officers who allowed them to be brought in in the first place. Confiscation would probably mean the dogs would be put down. Killing is never the answer to solving any prob...
