Malaysia's Inhumane Dog-Catching Competition!

[Guest guest]

http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2007/9/6/nation/18796676 & sec=nation

 

Price awards to encourage this inhumane competition are:

 

1st price MYR15,000 (US$4,300)

 

2nd price MYR13,000 (US$3,700)

 

3rd price MYR11,000 (US$3,100)

 

We believe, this inhumane competition will not only subject stray/wild

dogs to cruelty, but will also cause dognapping of dogs that belong to

human families as well, because it will be a lot easier and faster to

fulfill the prize eligibility.

 

" Anyone who wishes to rear the dogs are welcome to pick them up,

otherwise we would dispose of them through the council's own methods, "

said the State Assemblyman of Rawang, Tang See Hang, as shown in the

photo above grinning while catching a cardboard mock-up helpless mama

dog by using a yellow ribboned neck loop, an inhumane method to

capture dogs.
