Rescuing those dogs is not enough. Educating the residents of Pulau Ketam on pet responsibility and neutering is essential to prevent history from repeating itself.
As such, SPCA, together with both the Department of Veterinary Services (DVS) and Majlis Perbandaran Klang (MPK) will be embarking on a TNR (Trap, Neuter and Release) education campaign at Pulau Ketam on 27 and 28 June 2009.
SPCA need some Hokkien-speaking volunteers to form street teams and walk through the village, approaching the villagers about the importance of neutering pets and strays, as well as responsible pet ownership. They have sponsors lined up to provide "freebies" to villagers like dog food, treats, etc. to encourage their participation.
If you can speak Hokkien and would like to volunteer, please email the PR and Education Officer, Shahrul Baharin, at annbandlow [at] gmail.com with your contact details and which date you would be free to volunteer.
Thank you.
