Taman Desa Pinggiran Putra residents want independent rescuers to help with stray dog problem

The meeting between the residents and animal lovers at the D'Pinggiran food court.

A SOCIAL media post claiming that 250 dogs would be slaughtered by the local authorities at 9pm on Feb 15 near a futsal court at Jalan 5 in Taman Desa Pinggiran Putra brought over a hundred independent dog rescuers and animal rights activists to the Sepang housing area recently.

It started when Joseff Hoo, 25, a street lighting manufacturer who already had 14 dogs and four cats in his Damansara apartment studio, urged animal lovers in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor to be present at the location to save the strays.
