'Draw up guidelines on strays'


Hiding the cruelty: This cement wall is believed to have been erected recently to prevent the public from looking into the area where it was alleged that enforcement officers from the MPJBT had brutally killed a group of stray dogs (inset).

PETALING JAYA: Both the Urban Wellbeing, Housing and Local Government Ministry and state governments must together come up with the necessary guidelines for enforcement officers when rounding up stray animals.

“They must follow proper procedure and not inflict any cruelty on animals,” said Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) Selangor patron Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye.
