As reported by the Malaysian Insider, it turns out (If I did not interpret the news wrongly) that the government has sanctioned the abandonment of the dogs onto the islands, and were the ones who actually suggested and encouraged it, and even paid the villagers RM 90 for each dog they throw away! The gall! And you would think they’d have more brains to come up with a better solution to handle the overgrowing dog population issue. Ugh.
Here are also more updates regarding the rescue mission by one of the volunteers involved, and about one of the dogs rescued, Grace.
I’ve also been to Furry Friends Farm earlier. They are in real dire need of assistance in any way possible, but for the time I was there, it seems like there is no shortage of help so far, although it could be better. I’ve seen three of the eight rescued dogs (The rest are in the hospital for treatment)- Hope (The first dog rescued), Cleo (The poster dog) and Grace (The dog that swam to them). I am pleased to report that they (As well as all the dogs living there) are happy and adapting well. Grace took her meds, I was there when she did! :D
University resumes later. Sigh. I do not look forward to it at all because of the times. It’s completely stupid >_<
