(TW) Where are all the stray dogs?

[Guest guest]

It's really a good news that China and Taiwan have so big improvement in

animal rights then my chiildhood time.

I did spay and neuter the stray cats in my community and fed them as well. I

do pay the additional fees cleaning people to clean the community as

well. The neighbor complain even though i did all of these from my own

pocket. Some cats even get poisoned and tortured. The main point is it's

not the matter of animal themselves, but the matters of people, as

the resident here doesn't like people spend money and care in animal, and

it's really make me hard to coordinate with them.

I wonder if there is any animal lovers who live in or near Jakarta can help

me with the management and people problem.
