Selangor animal caregivers would be pleased to read these news:

An excerpt:
Selangor is on its way to becoming the first state in Malaysia to sterilise stray animals rather than culling as a form of population control.
We certainly look forward to the day when councils can at least spare ear-notched animals. Better still, to neuter and return them to their place of birth – the streets.
An excerpt:
“If you find a stray dog or cat in your area, you can help by feeding them, capturing them and taking them to one of our panel vets to be spayed.
“SPCA will subsidise the cost. For cats, we will cover 80% of the fee and for dogs, we will cover half of the bill.
“From the sponsorships we have received, I think we can spay and neuter at least 3,000 animals,” she said, adding that after the animals are neutered, they would have their left ear clipped to be identified by the local councils, before being released.
Through the campaign so far, SPCA has raised RM170,000 from sponsors and donors, including the Selangor state government, Yayasan Raja Muda and platinum sponsor Robots and Rembrandts.
That’s really good to know. Perhaps Selangor applicants who have been applying for our funds for years can now give us a break as there is another fund to help you now.
After having raised funds for almost 8 years now, to help with the neutering of street animals (offered to the whole of Malaysia), maybe we can take a breather and concentrate on helping cases from other states.
We hope in time to come, ear-notched animals in the whole of Malaysia will be spared from capture by the councils. It is quite impossible to rehome all the street animals at this point in time. Neuter-and-return-to-colony (CNRM) is the only feasible and compassionate way to handle the street animal population.
We have to be stray-friendly first, before we can become stray-free. It took the Netherlands 200 years to achieve stray-free status for dogs and until today, neutered cats are still allowed to roam their streets, unharmed, protected by their laws.
We have to make a start to be stray-friendly first. So, it certainly helps if the authorities in our country agree not to capture neutered street animals.
The earth belongs to them too.
They are street animals, not strays.
The street is where they are born;
The street is where they belong.
