Guest guest Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 Tuesday January 10, 2006 - The Star Doggone licensing rules IN THE past when a dog licence cost RM5 in Teluk Intan, there were many owners who thought going to the post-office to queue up for a dog licence was an inconvenience they could do without. Their dogs were dispensable and they would not think twice about getting rid of them by abandoning them. This year, a dog licence in Teluk Intan cost RM12. An application form has to be obtained first and only after a photograph of the owner, a photocopy of his identity card and the filling in of personal and dog particulars would the form be processed. Owners have to eventually produce the vaccination card of the dog. The small orange tag which is issued to each successful applicant is the dog's licence till the end of the year. How many owners are going to be willing to go to such lengths to legalise their dogs now? For the handful who are willing, they are only allowed to keep two dogs in their premises. This means if they have had four dogs, which they have been loving and caring for for the past eight years without problems, they would now have to decide what to do with the extra dogs. Putting them down at the prime of their lives, when they are healthy, neutered and having a great life is unthinkable. Licensed dogs found outside the premises unsupervised would be caught and destroyed. Malaysia is fast becoming a difficult place for dog lovers and dogs. LOVE ALL LIFE, Teluk Intan.
