PARALYSED HAMSTER ABANDONED IN SPCA TOILET

Bubu, a Syrian hamster with a slipped disc, was abandoned in a toilet at the SPCA in a neon green bag. One of our staff has since adopted him.

This year, as we celebrate the Year of the Rat, please do not get rodents on impulse.

After 2008’s Year of the Rat, SPCA Singapore saw an increase in hamsters being given up for a few years after. Numbers increased from a yearly average of 300+ abandoned & surrendered hamsters to over 500 in 2010 and more than 600 in 2011. Many animals are dumped when they are old, sick or injured.

Under the Animals & Birds Act, anyone found guilty of abandoning any animal can be imprisoned up to 12 months, fined up to $10,000, or both.

If you’re serious about keeping a pet, come down to SPCA and speak to our staff!
