Malaysian investigation show '360 Degrees' on TV3 highlighting Kuala Lumpur City Hall's (DBKL) alleged dog bashing and cat drowning at their animal pound.
Aired at 9pm on Wednesday, 4th February 2009

Dear members,

Around 5 years ago, personally I've seen how cruelly they drag the dogs around, with the terrified dogs peeing and pooing along the way before being thrown into the pound. We tried to highlight this and I'm sure others who care do, but to no avail. I can't believe that things gone from bad to WORST.

It is not easy to get awareness like this time. If we who claim ourselves as pet lovers are not bordered, what can we expect from these cold blooded freaks?! For once, lets get ourselves heard. Speak out for those who are speechless.

http://www.homeapet.com will not turns our blind eyes. Me + Ying are attending the gathering. Who else are in? We can be contacted @ 017-6288420.

KL mayor to investigate TV3 report on inhumane killing of dogs and cats
By WANI MUTHIAH

Members of the public are crying foul over the way stray dogs and cats are allegedly killed at the the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) animal pound in Setapak.

This is in reaction to the visuals shown over a TV3 programme 360° on Wednesday night.

The visuals which were captured with a hidden camera showed a pound worker dragging a dying dog with a loop around its neck.

To make matters worse, the “execution” was watched by another terrified dog waiting in line for its turn to be killed.

In the programme two people, who had brought the matter to the attention of the television station, said the dogs’ necks were fractured and cats were drowned or clobbered to death at the pound.

Independent animal rescuer Leigh Chen said her family had watched the programme after being alerted about it by a friend.

“My mother was in tears when she saw what was being done to the dog. She couldn’t believe that such methods were allowed at a government pound,’’ added a distraught Chen.

Clarance C. R. Chua, of the Malaysian Dogs Deserve Better project, said he failed to understand why the workers had resorted to such barbaric methods.

“The only reason I can think off is that they must have done so to save cost from having to buy the drugs and apparatus needed to euthanise these animals,’’ he added.

He said it was shameful that Malaysians could stoop so low to subjugate defenseless animals to such torture.

(The Malaysian Dogs Deserve Better project is a canine welfare initiative launched by non-profit and non-governmental organisation Community Development and Integration Initiative.)

Meanwhile, when contacted Kuala Lumpur mayor Datuk Ahmad Fuad Ismail said he would not condone such cruelty.

“I will talk to my officers and ask them to investigate the matter.

“And if I catch the people who had allegedly killed the cats and dog at the pound so cruelly, I will duly deal with them,’’ said an enraged Ahmad Fuad.

He said the right procedure was to euthanise stray cats and dogs intravenously as opposed to wringing or breaking their necks.

“If the pound had run out of the drugs needed for euthanasia, they should keep the dogs and feed them until the drugs arrive,’’ added Ahmad Fuad.

Meanwhile, Deputy Federal Territories Minister Datuk M. Saravanan said he was shocked with the revelation and added that the alleged culprits were not DBKL workers.

“The job to round up the strays have been outsourced to the DBKL’s appointed agents,’’ said Saravanan.

He said the allegations were serious and urged concerned members of the public and eye witnesses to lodge official complaints with his ministry.

“We will definitely deal with the matter accordingly as we will not tolerate such cruelty,’’ he added

Barbaric. There is no other way to describe the inhumane manner in which, if found to be true, animals were allegedly put down at a local council-run animal pound in Setapak: cats were drowned and dogs strangled.

Malay Mail was alerted to the alleged monstrosity taking place at the Kuala Lumpur City Hall pound, located at Air Panas, by a member of the public. She claimed to have seen council staff dunking cats in water to drown them and dogs being strangled to death.

She was present at the premises as she had brought her pet to the neutering clinic of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) which operates within the City Hall premises.

Checks with SPCA yesterday revealed the organisation did indeed receive the same complaint on cruelty on Jan 24 and stated they were in touch with the complainant to gather more details of the alleged incident.

It was also learnt that SPCA received a similar report by someone claiming to have seen a dog being strangled at the premises last November.

In the latest report received by the non-govermental organisation, the complainant claimed that the incident happened before 8am while she was waiting for the clinic to open at 9am.

SPCA stressed the incident in question did not involve any of its staff and that although based within the City Hall premises they were a separate entity.

"Ours is a dedicated, low-cost, highly subsidised neutering clinic set up by SPCA with the support of City Hall as a long-term, cost-effective and humane solution to the growing stray population crisis.

"The City Hall Dog Pound is where the dog (and cats) caught by the council are housed temporarily, before being claimed by their owners or euthanised by council staff," said SPCA public relations and marketing department assistant manager Jacinta Johnson.

Jacinta said SPCA had since written an official letter to City Hall’s health director asking for an explanation over both incidents and was in the midst of investigating the case.

She said all councils have been supplied with the Department of Veterinary Services’ "Guidelines on catching and exterminating stray dogs (2008)" yet SPCA continued to receive reports from members of the public on inhumane practices by local councils.

KL Mayor outraged

Kuala Lumpur Mayor Datuk Ahmad Fuad Ismail was outraged and vowed to investigate the matter thoroughly.

He said a life, even that of an animal, must be respected and the strangling and drowning of dogs and cats was not the way to euthanise them.

“If true, that would be very cruel and City Hall is taking a serious view of the matter. Even for a prisoner on death row, we cannot simply strangle him as there are guidelines to follow. “
