UPDATE FROM MALAYSIAN DOGS DESERVE BETTER - SELAYANG POUND SCANDAL CONTINUES

The SELAYANG SCANDAL

MDDB met Selayang councillor Gunaraj George today and handed food, bowls, pails, brooms and bleech to be brought to the Selayang pound. The bowls were sponsored by Animalcare whilst the rest came from MDDB. He was met by Animalcare and MDDB volunteer Mandy at the pound and both were horrified with what they saw.

Apparently, the pound had been spruced up after the expose but yet it was really shocking. There was a big pail of water in one of the cells and big chunks of plain white rice was thrown in one or two cells as well. This must have been a part of the spurce-up. According to Gunaraj, he was shocked to note the the dogs were only fed plain white rice.

The place was infested with ticks and according to Mandy some of the dogs must have died of tick fever. We also heard that the pound did not allow SPCA officials into its premises this morning and this is unacceptable.

They had also refused to accept the food brought to the pound by the SPCA. It shows the arrogance of the Selayang Municipal Council - why did they refuse SPCA's food when they only had white rice to feed the dogs?

Anyone claiming that the MPS is feeding the pound dogs are lying either to cover their posteriors or because they have personal agendas.

The caretaker told Mandy that there were no provision for food for the pound dogs and he sourced for food on his own initiative because he felt sorry for the dogs. Most of the time the dogs went hungry. There were also no containers and he had used some old pails to give them water. The pails are big - can the puppies reach the top for a drink?

Why didn't they allow the SPCA people in - what do they have to hide? It has also been brought to our attention that the dogs were systematically being starved to death and there may be truth in this. Gunaraj says the dogs in the Selayang pound appeared to be very weak. He and several other councillors have promised to work together with MDDB and other NGOs to put a stop to this cruelty. One of the persons responsible for this cruelty is an MPS employee named Ernie - contact number: 0136064446. She is the officer in charge of the pound. According to a very reliable sources she prevents even owners from going in to see their dogs. This woman apparently has a deep hatred for dogs that she enjoys inflicting pain on them. Call her and make it clear to this cruel civil servant, whose salary comes from our tax ringgit, that we will not tolerate her conduct.

Continue to SMS the councillors and the others as the MPS would be having ist full board meeting tomorrow morning.
