KOTA KINABALU: For this animal welfare group, they not only have to deal with unwanted pets but also the public who did not welcome them setting up the shelter in their area.

Founder of Animal Lovers Independent Rescuers (Alir) Diana Fransisca Romana pleaded for a more understanding community that accepts their presence, following past cases of dog poisoning at their shelter.
