Animal Groups Upset Over HDB Notice Suggesting Owners "Debark" Their Dogs

We thank our facebook followers and commenters for alerting us to an HDB notice offering the “debarking… through surgery” of dogs, as well as using “training collars to control” dogs.

We have written in to the press, advocating strongly against the aforementioned “measures”. We urge all to always turn to humane, effective approaches in resolving existing communal issues. The dogs’ welfare and wellbeing ought NOT to be compromised. We would like to affirm the staunch commitment of many to upholding the welfare of pet dogs.



SINGAPORE – A Housing Board notice that asked some dog owners in Ang Mo Kio to consider “debarking your dog through surgery”, which would quell noisy dogs by cutting their vocal chords, has been removed following criticism by animal lovers.
