Kids with a big heart for unfortunate animals
This is yet another example of a caring child (with equally caring and responsible parents) who asked her friends to bring food and donations for SPCA instead of presents
Excerpt from SPCA newsletter:
Kind Kids celebrate birthdays in aid of SPCA!
Katie Gorden is a compassionate kid – she invited her friends to her birthday party at Aquaria KLCC recently, and asked them to bring pet food and pet items for the animals in SPCA instead of gifts for herself! This generous girl managed to collect a big amount of pet supplies for the animals, which she happily donated to the SPCA Selangor animal shelter!

Ariana Eimer had also celebrated her 6th birthday on the 28th of March, and had invited her classmates from the AISM and her other friends. Instead of bringing presents she had asked in her invitation for donations for the SPCA's dogs and cats. The large majority of her friends donated generously, and the average donation was RM50 per child! Ariana collected a sum of RM1,017.00 that day which she
donated to SPCA proudly.

We would like to thank these two Kind Kids for their generosity and kindness in giving the best gift of all – the gift of love to our animal friends!

GOOD NEWS for strays
Finally, after a year of bad news about animal abandonment & cruelty, the year ends with some GOOD NEWS!
SPCA GETS A PERMANENT HOME
After 50 years of being a squatter on a 2-acre piece of land in Jalan Kerja Air Lama, Ampang, the SPCA in Selangor has managed to purchase this land from the Selangor Govenrment for a premium price!
Many unwanted animals have been seeking temporary refuge at the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) since its inception in 1958 by a Dutchman, the late Max Wheatley and his wife Mea Wheatley, who is presently SPCA’s fundraising chairman.
Plans are on the way to build an eco-friendly shelter to house 200 cats & 300 dogs. Hijjas Kasturi, Malaysia's #1 architect is offering his services pro bono. Construction work is expected to commence by next year-end if sufficient funds are raised. SPCA also welcomes donations in kind from contractors or developers who have excess building materials.
“On our eco-friendly efforts, we will be harvesting rainwater for reuse, using local materials, building and designing the shelter around the trees that are over 100 years old and implementing a proper waste management system. We would like to make our own compost as well, so we welcome expertise from environment specialists.”, said Christine, in an interview with The Star
There will also be an important section for Education & Awareness activties.
Now's your chance to contribute & make a difference.
Many a time, when I tell people the plight of these strays & abandoned pets, they throw their hands into the air, and say.. "What can we do? It's like that, one. Let the NGOs do it".
THERE IS MUCH that U can do.. in a big or small way. Educate your children & adults to respect animals - not kick them or buy them when they look cute & throw them away (literally) when it becomes too bothersome to keep. Hey, it's a living, breathing, feeling life we are talking about.
Buying any animal for pet encourages indiscriminate breeding & the ridiculous $$ people pay for an animal has caused a mushrooming of 'pet shops', even can find them at wet markets & pasar malam! -- all for profit. What happens to unsold dogs? Female dogs used to breed are not given proper care & rest between litters. Often forced to mate & produce puppies over & over again. Puppies are often weak & have health issues. This is a form of cruelty! These are known overseas as PUPPY MILLS.
Many years ago, when my father was interested in breeding dogs (boxers), he bought a male puppy from Australia. He was called Phoenix Firecracker on his birth cert. We just call him Duke. His Birth Certificate to showed that he is a pure boxer breed, with a trace of its lineage. It listed the names of it's dog parents & grand parents, all award winning dogs. There's also a Health Certificate. He was mated with another boxer (bought locally. We called her Ninja) but is registered with the Malaysia Kennel Association. They're puppies were all registered at MKA too, after under-going a medical check-up. But it was difficult to maintain the business, so we sold a few pups and kept Duke & Ninja as pets until their demise. They were faithful pets & very much a part of our family.
But, I digress...
To SUPPORT the PROPER MANAGEMENT of STRAYS, pls SUPPORT SPCA in their fund-raising efforts especially for their new building, so that they can save more dogs & cats from being put down (euthanised) due to space constraint. Many have complained & are against this policy, so DO DONATE by :

Thanks to the unwavering efforts of Dr Chan Kah Yein from AnimalCare, a new animal-rescue group and the big hearts of the founders of LLLF, the dogs will share a new, beautiful home with geese, goats, cows and 25 other dogs!
On 2 Aug, the dogs made their journey to thier new home. “This is a beautiful place, with such positive energy. The dogs will definitely be happy here,” comments Dr Joe, SPCA vet.
