It’s a dog’s life for canines and their owners in Muar

I REFER to the reports “MCA: Does council have licence to kill?” (The Star, May 25) and “Animal welfare groups hold demo in Ipoh” (May 27) on the response of several animal welfare groups and MCA to the wilful killing of a stray dog, and also the suggestion that the Ipoh City Council should control the stray dog population by neutering them.

Such complaints and protests by animal lovers have been highlighted in the media for many years but the problem still persists.
