Pet Care Tips

In light of the recent alleged mutilation of the two kittens in Chong Pang, the SPCA would like to remind all pet owners to keep their pet cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters and guinea pigs STRICTLY indoors. We have seen and investigated too many cases where pets are kept in the common corridors of the homes in public AND private housing estates, leaving the pets vulnerable to the weather, theft or abuse by strangers.

Part of being a responsible pet owner, as well as to prevent animal abuse, is keeping your pets STRICTLY indoors for their own safety and being mindful of others who might not be comfortable with animals. Pets, when let out of the safety of their homes must be under the owners� supervision at all times. Irresponsible pet owners can be held equally responsible for the pain and suffering (which can sometimes lead to death) that their pets go through when subject to abuse or accidents or fights with other animals.

Convenience or ignorance of the law, thereby �causing unnecessary pain or suffering� Part IV, Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Section 42 (1)(d) of the Animals & Birds Act (CAP 7), could result in a fine of $10,000.
