THE WAY FORWARD!
If only we can emulate what the Thais do, this will be the way forward to check on the 'strays' problem in the country. In Penang, we have yet to see our new Dog Bylaws going through. This has been stated and promised for a long time that it is going to happen and yet it's an 'empty promise' by the Authorities and the Legal Department concerned. How long do we have to wait? The doors of the State Veterinary Department to allow neutering of cats and dogs by owners from the low income group have been shut. The society will foresee the rise in figures for man-made strays especially cats. To achieve being a 'Stray Free Malaysia' we hope the authorities concerned and the general community will have more consideration towards respect for Life which begins with concern and care for the environment and animals. As quoted by Mahatma Gandhi 'THE GREATNESS OF A NATION AND ITS MORAL PROGRESS CAN BE JUDGED BY THE WAY ITS ANIMALS ARE TREATED.'

Visit by Molly’s Merry Choristers SPCA welcomed the visit by members of the Molly’s Merry Choristers. For the past two years the members of the group had channeled some of their proceeds to the society through their annual Christmas Caroling.
Visit by The House - an Educare and Enrichment Centre for children Twenty seven kids including their teachers visited the shelter to know more about SPCA and its functions in society. Along with them they brought food for the animals and for the staff too. The kids as young as 2 years old up to 11 years enjoyed their visit very much. It is indeed a good idea to get the kids exposed to such an environment and get to know how these unwanted animals ended up at shelters.
