At around 10.00am today, I received a message from a distraught Tanjung Bunga resident informing me that stray dogs were being openly shot in the Persiaran Tanjung Bunga area near Ratu Mutiara.
Five shots rang out.
Many other dogs belonging to residents in nearby apartments began barking furiously.
This is not the first time this is happening.
A few months ago, according to the same resident, enforcement personnel were shooting dogs in front of the Tanjung Bunga market in full view of the horrified public, including tourists and children.
Why such cruelty? Isn’t there a more humane way of dealing with stray animals? There’s also the question of public safety.
What does the MPPP have to say?
I liked the comment by Jebat. Many folks talked about how inhumane treatments on the dog, many missed the point of some very compassionate (want to have a pet as show) and yet irresponsible owner that disowned the dogs and let it feed on thrash making the area very dirty. Stray Dogs can be real menace to garbage collectors, Tenaga meter-man, water meter-man, Postman, newspaper delivery man, all at the mercy of those strays.
Any other better solutions ? Please suggest. I kind of feel MPPP need to take action before it mowed down another toddler girl , happened about few months ago in Butterworth.
For those dog owners reading this blog, like to remind you, please don;t bring your dog to s—-/pee around the neighborhood, it is stinking like hell and now many neighborhood are so smelly and hazardous until public cannot even take a nice stroll without stepping on something, same applies to cats. I do not come to use your toilet everyday and please don;t take your dog to s— outside my house.!!

Do you realize that your litter of cigarette buds, tin cans, plastic so much harm to the environment but dog poo only helps the environment. What do you think ‘baja’ is? It is animal s… which is much cleaner than human s…. You eat char kuay teoh, bah kut teh and all that rubbish but the dogs we care for eat very high quality food balanced with corn meal, carrots, oats etc. Not the rubbish humans eat.
If you knew how our earth today is dying because of the rubbish Mankind is throwing, you would know that dog poo and pee is the least of your worries. In fact it is helping the environment. Anyway, in places like parks, dog owners scoop up the poo anyway.
If only people weren’t so ignorant like you, the earth wouldn’t be dying today. I bet you don’t recycle either. (sigh)

For those who are whacking Antares, I must say point out the he is Malay and Muslim. There are lots of people who have met Antares in his wonderful enclave by Magik River where all God’s beings are treated wonderfully. So stop hating. He is just saying it as it is about the faults of his own community. Look around and see what’s going on. This irrational disgust for a god-created anumal resulting in cruelty beyond measure. Did you read about the pup who was strangled because it walked into the neighbour’s house by mistake? Please try and fix your faults first instead of jumping to bite others’ throats. The Prophet has said no being should be treated cruelly or unjustly. Those who can’t feel compassion for these dumb animals needs to seriously think where they are going.
To Jebat, no animal lover or anyone with A BIT OF COMPASSION would ask why only doing to dogs, why not cats too? Are you serious!? Why would we want this terrible thing done to cats too? We would want cruelty of all kinds to animals stopped. You guys disgust me. Call yourselves human and can’t even begin to care for other living beings.

Ann Ramayah,
What makes you think I am a smoker that throws ciggy butts all over ? What makes you think that I simply litter thrashes , what makes you think I do not recycle. You were so wrong.
I recycle most of plastic stuff I used, I do not smoke either and most importantly I do not simply throw thrashes like those people you accused me of with similar poor behavior.
I reserved my judgment on you, but just like to point out your shallowness.
Regarding dog owner that clean up after the dog poo-poo, that is very rare, that is why many simply bring dogs for exercise around the park in the hope they need not to clean up but let the dog do its business in open park. Sounds familiar ?
I am standing by my comment about some of those pseudo animal lover cum dog owner, that care less about having own their dog and clean up after them.

first of all, they are not strays, they have the same equal rights to stay on this planet like most of other living entities.
today i saw the same incident at Bandar Sri Pinang, they were using net though, but the problem with the council people, they don’t have mercy to these animals, in their eyes is just about KILLING and DISPOSING. i just wish we have a team and have a peaceful protest on street to show to our government that this is a serious matter to our moral and kindness to animals.

My 8 years old son once asked me when we saw these Council killers shooting the poor female street dog at our housing area, ‘Mummy, why these ppls wanted to killed the pity dogs? What had the dogs done?’, I speechless for a while but later I answered to him like this, ‘Son, human are the most dangerous species on this earth not tiger nor lion..just remember, try to save more animals as possible as you can while you grow up..’ and I am glad he is kind and pour so much of his love to animals right now….
Our Government really need to do something about this besides other issues, only depends on the NGOs doesn’t help much….I am sad we can only educate to our child(this only to those who feel mercy to the animals, how about those dislike animals?), and this is definitely not enough….
