The Story Of The Silver Spring Monkeys
26th Aug 2011, by AnimalCare
Besides guinea pigs, rabbits, dogs and cats, monkeys are also widely used for animal-testing. I overheard the other day that there is even a monkey farm in Sabah where monkeys are bred to be used in animal-testing. I sometimes post news from PETA but it does not mean I fully support what PETA does. Just as with most big organisations, there are bound to be things they do that cannot please everyone. Some organisations even have skeletons in the cupboard which cannot see the light of day. &...

There Is Hope Yet...
25th Aug 2011, by AnimalCare
Sometimes, in the midst of having so much to do, more so, in dealing with all kinds of humans, especially those who like to make life so complicated, those who back-stab, those who only think of themselves, it helps to find the meaning of life by going back to basics.And what are the basics that we need in order to survive?I think it is kindness. That's all?Yes, I like to keep things simple. That's all.Here are two photos I'd like to share with you.This photo was taken by my friend, Mr Poon...

POPIKO MAIL
Dear peeps,
its been quite some time since I've reached out to you all.
Those who have been long with us will know that it was I who started the first entry in this blog appealing for help.
http://malaysiandogsdeservebetter.blogspot. com/2008/11/please-help-me-help-my-brothers-and.ht ml
Anyways, I have been busy managing the people who run MDDB and this can be a very challenging task.
It saps all my energy and that is why I have had very little, or no, time at all to blog.

Semenyih Puppy Update
25th Aug 2011, by Malaysian Dogs Deserve Better
Hi,
Remember the Semenyih puppy that was so fierce that it was difficult to handle him?
http://malaysiandogsdeservebetter.blogspot.c om/2011/08/semenyih-puppy.html
Well, we've been told by his fosterer that he is doing well and receptive towards people now.
This was not the case when we went to the clinic to get him last week or when we had visited him soon after his rescue.
He nearly chomped our fingers off and we had to get the vet and vet assistant to help put him into a carrier f...

25th Aug 2011, by Malaysian Dogs Deserve Better
Our noseless dog MIMI CHITTA is well and ready to be discharged from the vet. We now have to look for a place for her as we are unsure if we want to send her back to where she was so brutally maimed.
Her owner says she is willing to take MIMI CHITTA back but told us that we should give her away if someone else wants her.
However, they want MIMI CHITTA's mother MA BARKER back.
MIMI CHITTA has learnt to cope with her disability and eats well.

Are You Wearing Dog Leather?
25th Aug 2011, by AnimalCare
This is from PETA:Where does the leather for purses, shoes, and belts come from? Many of us may think that we know the answer but don't know what animal the skin was taken from — or how that animal suffered. The truth is quite disturbing. Undercover investigators have provided PETA with horrifying photographs of dogs in Thailand as they were being slaughtered so that their skins could be tanned for leather. The photographs show terrified dogs sitting in crowded cages, awaiting their own ...

Atrocious Delicacies In China
25th Aug 2011, by AnimalCare
Whenever there is atrocious news about food, it always seems to come from China.A friend sent me photos (which I shall not reproduce here, because it took me two days before I dared look at the photos - you can probably google for them if you do a word search on "waxed dogs and cats in China").Yes, apparently, the Chinese in China capture dogs and cats, wax them and sell them as "delicacies" and the Chinese consumers eat them.The photos are....very heart-wrenching, more so, to dog- and cat- love...

The All-Elusive Herbie Was At The Neighbour's!
25th Aug 2011, by AnimalCare
Aimy texted a few days ago to say she has finally spotted Herbie again - it looks like Herbie has chosen to live with her neighbour now. Herbie is this extremely spunky little kitten (estimated to be about 5 months old) whose rescuer/feeder had to give up for fostering/adoption because Herbie had made her place of work her "home". The boss wasn't too happy about a cat making herself at home at the office, so the feeder asked if I could find a fosterer/rehomer for Herbie. Aimy offered...
