Kudos to SPCA for helping abused and abandoned animals

STOMPer Eric says a big thank you to the SPCA workers who took in an abandoned puppy which he found.

He appreciates the effort SPCA workers take to provide for the abandoned animals that arrive there.

Eric says:

"Some time back I read some articles criticising SPCA.

"I was quite disturbed as I am an animal lover. Recently, I had a chance to visit SPCA as I found a lost/abandoned pedigree puppy.

"Since I already owned 2 dogs of my own, I was unable to provide a shelter for the puppy and decided to bring it down to SPCA.

"We were concerned with what SPCA would do to the dog and spoke to a dog handler, Richard, about that.

"He told us about the plight of abandoned and abused animals in S'pore. He also talked about his job scope and the perils he faced everyday when he's out in the field rescuing animals.

"My family and I were really moved and impressed with the people working in SPCA.

"I think we have to give thanks to the team of fantastic folks at SPCA.

"They are truly the unsung heroes, who work behind the scenes, roll up their sleeves and get down and dirty to rescue animals.

"Big thank you to Richard and team!"

People don't like others to abandon them and yet heartlessly dump their pets, is not putting themselves in their pet's shoes :(

Tat's bcos u see a PEDIGREE PUPPY, you dumbass. Even if SPCA dun take it in, any petshop out there will be glad to have it!! But what about strays???!!! They get put to sleep, do u noe that? You see the nice front, ever stepped to the cruel reality at the back? Reason they give is, No space and probablity of a stray getting adopted is minimal!! So... might as well just die. Then can i say to all the orphans out there. u might as well just die lah!

SPCA are doing their job, no space or animal suffering put them to sleep not cook curry with it. I called the org once when I saw a dog with deep cuts over its neck, they came but too late the dog has wandered away. I have a dog adopted from the org die recently at 14yrs old, try to cremate at the org. only $50 (mass cremation) they direct me to mt pleasant cos i want the ashes back, this is a good dog never cost me alot to keep her, I donated some money instead. Go there in the morning you will see all the activities waht they are doing. Lots of kind volunteers around. No money to donate never mind just help to walk the dogs will do.

stasiac_i: The SPCA will not do anything to dogs who are not adopted within a month. They will still be at the adoption area, as long as, they will adopted. One example I can quote was Handsome and Boy, who are x-Corgi. They are still at adoption areaa, despite being there for more than 2 yrs~

AsteroidS: That's so untrue of what AsteroidS says. SPCA don't kill older dogs, they still put older dogs to adoption if they are perfectly healthy. In any case, if the dogs are suffering in severe illnesses, the SPCA have no choice but to put them to slp, so as to shorten their period of suffering!

There was once, an 8yrs old maltese was put on adoption. It was perfectly healthy, except for some mild skin problem.

So AsteroidS, don't anyhow jump into conclusion they kill older dogs!

Ah~ I'd rather not QUOTE the previous comment on 'KILLING' the older dogs.
Rather you should see it in another way.
It's called 'reliving of the older dogs pains' not killing it!
