DATELINE MAJLIS PERBANDARAN KLANG:
GOOD NEWS for dogs in MPK's pound in Klang. SPCA Selangor Chief Christine Chin has volunteered to add as many as 10 cages to house canines caught caught by the MPK for their pound. The arrangement was made by the Department of Veterinary Services' veterinarian Dr Thiba Rajoo.
"The special wire cages will help the pound to be more organised and offer more comfort and room for the dogs kept in the MPK pound," pointed out Dr Thiba.
The latest effort is part of a number of immediate measures taken by the MPK to help make life more comfortable for canines caught by the Council and housed in their temporary pound.
The action came after an official visit by the Canine Advisory Team or CAT experts from the Petaling Jaya City Council which is the first and only council in the state and possibly in the country to have a special committee to deal with canine concerns.
Meanwhile, several animal rights and welfare NGOs are meeting today at the Petpositive Therapy Centre in Petaling Jaya, Selangor.
The meeting, coordinated by the Malaysian Animal-Assisted Therapy for the Disabled and Elderly Association (Petpositive), is to come out with an effective strategy for NGOs to work with local councils on issues of animal concerns.
The two-hour meeting will involve PETPOSITIVE, SPCA Selangor, Save-A-Stray, a vet from the Department of Veterinary Services and an expert animal rescuer from Klang.
Stay tuned for more good news to be announced later this week!
