(ID) animal rights

[Guest guest]

Yes. I need help in legal issue. I start to live in Indonesia since the end

of 2003 and I wonder if there is any law regarding the animal rights here. I

feel that people here see animal as thing and could be thrown or even kill,

and now I experiencing it myself.

During these years I saw some people having wildlife at home, they

caged/tight the animals in 24 hours, I know Indonesia has law about this,

but no one action.

Another case is I caring stray dogs and cats in my community. I feed, care

and spayed them in my own expenses. But some people in community start to

terrorize me. They even tried to kill the strays. FYI, I paid additional

money to the cleaning service in area in order to keep the community clean.

Now I tried to keep all strays in my house. the dogs are fine but it is

difficult to keep stray cats always at home.

I ever go to the police to report the case but the police suggest just to

throw the strays to another area, which will make the problem worse, of

course I didn't do that.

and there is also some people in my community who having monkey in small

cages, dog in small cages.....etc but no action from the local government.

I wonder if there is any law of animal rights here, I wish I can help more,

so I wish can discuss this case with you.
