Dog Catching Competition

Ya...read that title again...and this what I got from my email last night from SPCA...
It states:

"On September 5th, Majlis Perbandaran Selayang launched a Dog Catching Competition, aiming to clear their municipality of stray dogs. Residents are offered up to RM15,000 in cash prizes for catching more than 150 dogs in 6 months, but the competition will go on indefinitely according to the MPS website. SPCA urges that the competition be scrapped immediately and be replaced with more pro-active measures to control the dog overpopulation in the area. Since the announcement, SPCA has received hundreds of calls, text messages and e-mails from concerned members of the public who are shocked and upset by the municipal's actions. We would like to thank you for speaking out for our voiceless friends, we can't express how overwhelmed and touched we are that so many of you have made calls to MPS, sent letters to the media, called radio stations and spoken to your friends to highlight the plight of these poor dogs."



yes yes...I know this is a Muslim country and you can't touch dogs...and paria dogs come and simply bite. BUT...this is not the job of the citizen and the municipal shouldn't push this responsibility to the citizen. Firstly, desperate jobless citizen might not catch the dog the right way and might result to violence on the dogs...which it will deter the purpose. Secondly, other citizen pay taxes so that the government will do their job...not to pay other citizen to do their job. It's like a man chasing dogs to get back tax return....isn't retarded?... Adding to that, you know paria Malaysian can get too, RM 15000 is a lot, especially to junkies...they won't only get the stray dogs...they might also steal people's dog...Jeez didn't the municipal think before they create this new stupidity?This clearly shows the thinking level of the society.

I might not be an animal lover and I'm not against-ing the government, but they have to be open to comments. Instead of a cash prize, they could use that money to fund SPCA and let them do the work...since they are against it anyways...makes more sense right? and everyone will be happy...and no stolen or hurt animals.....

I'm hell against this STUPID FOOLISH RETARTED act by the municipal. Clearly lazy.... Do your job right please people!!!
