MEETING WITH 12 MUNICIPAL COUNCILS OF SELANGOR

—————————————————————————–

SPCA Selangor made headway with our Stray Free Selangor and Safe Stray Campaign when we met with the 12 Municipal Councils of Selangor yesterday! As the new Animal Welfare Act eventually comes into action, Section 56 states that office bearers of Municipal Councils will bear the consequences of their workers’ cruelty, if any, inflicted during stray dog catching and other areas of stray control. Methods currently used are Catch-and-Kill, poisoning (although many do not admit it) and shooting (rarely occurs now) – all of which are inhumane, ineffective and unacceptable to animal-loving Malaysians.

While a task force will meet every month, it’s imperative that the Municipal Councils exhibit the political will to solve the overpopulation of stray companion animals and be a collaborative partner with SPCA Selangor, the Department of Veterinary Services and community carers to create Safe Stray areas in Caring Communities. A strong push to work on Education, Legislation and Sterilization will ensure the success of Stray Free Selangor. This will be a 10 year commitment and we hope we will make good headway up to 2025!

SPCA Selangor

SPCA Selangor is an animal welfare organisation based in Ampang Jaya, Selangor. The aim of the SPCA is to protect defenseless animals and to alleviate their suffering. We receive more than 700 unwanted, homeless or abused animals every month. We provide an adoption program, investigation of cruelty reports, humane education, assistance to community animal caregivers and run a dedicated, low-cost spay/ neuter clinic. We also lobby the Government and local municipals for humane treatment of animals and harsher penalities for perpetrators of crimes against animals. Founded in 1958, SPCA is a well-respected and trusted Non-Profit Organisation. Over the years, the organisation has gained tremendous goodwill, recognition and support from animal lovers all over Malaysia
