WE ARE RECEIVING RATHER DISTURBING NEWS of a potential canine abuse situation once again from another dog pound in the state of Selangor.
However, PET+BLOGSPOT! is unable to make an independent confirmation of the news report at this time.
An animal activist informer for the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) Selangor has alleged that the Majlis Perbandaran Selayang (MPS) pound in Rawang, Selangor is in a "terrible (condition with) many dead dogs."
"(The canines) are confined without food and water," the Short Messaging Service (SMS) went on from the informer who is said to have sent the message today whilst at the MPS pound site.
"(There was) no food and water for the dogs (and) when I questioned them (pound workers), they replied that they have no container!
(The dogs) have green discharge over their eyes and noses. One dog was eating its poo (just a few moments ago)."
The SMS messages which was sent by the Selangor SPCA to the Department of Veterinary Services and others came with some strong pictures (to be displayed here soon) that appear to support the report.
NEWS JUST IN: SPCA has issued another call to DVS to intervene in the MPS pound. The Society is also taking in the carcass to UPM tomorrow for a post mortem. The SPCA has also expressed its concern to a Selangor State representative.
MEANWHILE, PETPOSITIVE President Anthony SB Thanasayan who is also Chairman of the Canine Advisory Teams of the Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) and Majlis Perbandaran Klang (MPK) when contacted by PET+BLOGSPOT says that he has been unable to contact the Health Department Director of MPS this afternoon as it is a public off day.
However Thanasayan says that he is closely monitoring the latest reports and hopes to get down to the matter by 12noon tomorrow at the very latest.
He has also approached a senior official from the Majlis Perbandaran Subang Jaya (MPSJ) for help in some intervention.
