Guest guest Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Tuesday December 13, 2005 - The Star Study how pet issues are handled abroad IT IS quite interesting to note the ongoing debate about the advantages and disadvantages of having dogs as pets in an urban and multiracial society. The parties on both sides have suggested many points that need to be considered objectively. Therefore, it is time for local authorities to change their antique laws regarding dog licensing, which was introduced during colonial time. Malaysia, being a multiracial country, needs to address this kind of issue with a more scientific approach that would eventually create an acceptable solution by all people. For example, a dog owner requires a neighbour's consent in order to get a dog licence. This unrealistic approach will definitely invite more problems and dissatisfaction among dog owners. It is advisable for the local councils to study how this problem has been addressed in developed countries. Using a comparative study, we can adopt a better approach by implementing a " Total Pet Management System in Urban Environment " approach to solve current problems. Among the basic ideas in this system are: REQUIREMENTS of licences for dogs should apply to other type of pets as well, including monitor lizards, snakes, scorpions and monkeys; INTRODUCE training for pet owners on how to take care of their pets in the right manner and to minimise social disturbance; INTRODUCE a dangerous pets insurance policy; INTRODUCE smart-tagging technology for management of pets; and INTRODUCE pet ownership, transfer and death certificates to ensure safe transport, keeping, quarantine and disposal of the animals.

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 I strongly feel that animals like monkeys, monitor lizards, scorpions and snakes make for most unsuitable " pets " . People should be discouraged from keeping wild animals and birds as companion animals. S.
