Dear Dr Chan,
We have read your detailed proposals to MPSJ with much care and concern. We truly understand your predicament and plight, however it is unfortunate that we may not be able to assist in pushing for a by-law to spare the lives of ear-notched animals.
According to our research, it is indeed not feasible to introduce TNR in an urban area such as Subang Jaya / Kelana Jaya, as the likelihood of the animals getting knocked down, abused, or being a danger to the public is extremely high. With that being said, different councils have different policies. MBPJ surrenders all captured animals to PAWS for RM20 per animal. MPSJ is said to be more “advanced” where they own a compound and an in-house veterinarian to attend to the captured animals, after which, they are permitted by law to put them down if they see fit. Of course, ideally, it would be best if the animals were reclaimed or adopted, but we too know the reality that majority of the animals are put down.
We got in touch with (name of person and organisation provided) who is also a councilor, and they have a committee of petlovers which meets every month solely to discuss stray animal issues. They welcome all input to preserve the lives of the strays and if any feasible suggestions come through, they will introduce new municipal by-laws. The best we can do as a parliamentarian office is to assist in promoting and publicizing pet adoption. I hope that you find this information helpful.
Best Regards,
Deborah Augustin

We have replied to say we hope the parliamentarian’s office will publicise and promote pet adoption from the shelters and pounds. We also sought the parliamentarian’s office’s consent to publish their email as their official response to our request.

Dear Dr Chan,
Yes, you are welcome to publish this on your website. In the mean time I will also post on Wong Chen’s Facebook asking if anyone might be able to help in providing the cost benefit paper that is necessary to change MPSJ’s position on the matter.
Best,

We thank the YB’s office for their response and hope their esteemed office will do the needful for the street animals.
Meanwhile, as we’ve always said: Let’s continue doing what we can for the animals. Every street animal neutered is many hundreds of lives saved. Every street animal rehomed and cared for is a precious life saved.
