Govt should allocate funds, unused land for animal shelter


StarMetro’s report on Sept 29.

I refer to StarMetro’s report “Nearly 300 shelter dogs may be released on Ipoh streets” about Ipoh Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ISPCA) facing a crisis that threatens the future of the dogs in its shelter on Jalan Gopeng in Ipoh, Perak.

The crux of the problem lies in the organisation’s inability to pay the quit rent for the shelter’s leased land, which totals RM33,170 for the years 2018 to 2023.
