ENTHUSIASM, HOPE AND A NEW SENSE OF ENERGY.
THESE ARE THE KEY WORDS THAT ARE ON THE MINDS OF MANY ANIMAL LOVERS AND ACTIVISTS TODAY.
THAT'S BECAUSE MORE THAN A DOZEN OF THEM ARE EXPECTED TO CONVENE AT PUTRAJAYA LATER THIS AFTERNOON.
THEY WILL BE ATTENDING A HISTORIC MEETING THAT IS SCHEDULED TO FINALLY BE THE CATALYST TO SET THE STANDARDS FOR ANIMAL WELFARE IN THE COUNTRY.

The committee's first mission is to set up an animal welfare bill as soon as possible.
No agenda has been given with the invitation letters.

However, one can expect today's session to pick the members who will sit in the council, particularly the nongovernmental organisations.
The DVS will probably also set out a plan of action for everyone in the committee for the important tasks ahead.
"I'm really looking forward to participating in the event," beamed Dr Ranjit Kaur yesterday to PET+BLOGSPOT.

Dr Ranjit, who serves as treasurer to Noah's Ark of Ipoh, was elated when the Ipoh City Council (MBI) banned dog-shooting recently.
She said she had not only been working for the past seven years to stop the MBI from shooting dogs but she also saved a stray she named 'Bullet' after it was shot in July of this year.
The one-year old canine victim has now found a happy home with the veterinarian.

"I must say a big thank-you to the DVS role in helping to stop the dog shooting practice everywhere," added the vet who has had her practice in Ipoh Gardens Town for the past 25 years.
