MEMORANDUM HANDED OVER TO SELAYANG COUNCIL
11 SEPT, 2007
The Selayang Municipal Council recently launched a barbaric dog catching competition, where lucrative prize money( 1st Prize RM15,000; 2nd Prize RM13,000 and 3rd Prize RM11,000) is being offered to individuals or groups of individuals that can catch the most number of stray dogs every 6 months. The minimum catch to qualify for these top prizes is 150 dogs. In addition to that, the council will also pay individuals RM20 for each dog brought in on an ongoing basis.
Animal lovers from across the country have united and signed an ONLINE PETITION that commenced on Thurs, 6 Sept 2007. As at 9pm on Monday, 10 Sept 2007, a grand total of 1575 signatures were collected online, and this number is growing. Animal lovers within the Klang Valley also gathered at the Central Park, Bandar Utama on Sunday, 9 Sept 2007 for a peaceful protest against the dog catching competition. 585 signatures were collected on the day. This brought the total collected to 2160 signatures.
Animal rights groups, SPCA, ROAR, PETPOSITIVE, MARPO etc, and a coalition of individual animal lovers gathered at the MPS this morning to hand over a Memorandum and the signatures collected from both the online petition and from the peaceful protest.
It was interesting to note, that the YDP, Tn. Zainal Abidin Bin Azim, was conveniently on leave, although his car was parked in the porch. His Deputy, Tn Hj. Jamri bin Hasni was also missing in action. They sent a PR Officer, a Ms Helda, down to meet us. We were quite amused that there was over 20 security personnel manning the lobby of the Council, and Ms Helda was also escorted by 2 burly security personnel.
