Killing is not the answer


There are only so many strays that animal shelters can take in. With limited funds and space, most dogs, even healthy ones, are forced to be put to sleep.

TO KILL or to keep? That is the tough question to answer when it comes to strays caught by dog catchers and brought to overcrowded dog pounds in Selangor.

With the population of strays ever on the rise, putting the animals to sleep is, sadly, the standard practice used in an effort to reduce the number of strays on the streets.
