Grievous dog's leg neck tied tightly to grill and wood shoved down inside its throat in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Ghastly animal abuse at Kepong KTM station

I am writing because of a grievous incident that took place on Monday, March 15 at about 3pm at Kepong Central KTM Station. My friends and I (six of us) were there to take the train to the Bank Negara station.

After parking our cars, we heard a dog howling, more like a painful cry. Then, we noticed a dog being tied to the grill (steel fence) of the KTM station. As we approached the dog, we stood aghast at the sight.

The stray dog's leg and neck was tied very tightly to the grill and a piece of wood had been shoved down inside its throat! The dog was bleeding and its feces were all around it. The string was attached to a pole in the KTM station.

Immediately, we confronted the KTM workers. They said that it was done by Kuala Lumpur City Hall workers because a minister was to be visiting the station next week. They failed to explain further.

At once, we called the SPCA and the Paws animal welfare society. The SPCA responded efficiently by informing us that an animal control officer would be there soon. We made a slight commotion in front of the KTM station but the KTM workers were not concerned at all.

After about an hour, as we were returning to the KTM Kepong Central Station, we received a call from the SPCA officer stating that the dog was now not tied up and was moving around. When we arrived, the dog was limping. The same KTM workers avoided us as we tried to confront them. A passer-by told us that the dog has been that way for quite some time.

The SPCA officer could not capture the dog as it walked away for quite a distance. He advised us to write to the media and to the SPCA as well.

Doesn't our country's animal rights support the idea that an animal has the right to live its life without being harmed and hurt by humans? We realize that people define the meaning of animal rights and abuse in different ways but aren't the citizens of our country merciful?

This dog could have been just put to sleep if it had been harming the public or causing a nuisance. Why stick a wooden stick down its throat?

Missing dog returns home

GEORGE TOWN: The frantic search for Miller, a seven-year-old Shih-Tzu that went missing here on Feb 21, ended well when the dog was found safe hundreds of kilometres away in Kuala Lumpur.
The good news came on Saturday when a veterinarian called businessman Michael Khaw and told him that he recognised Miller from a postcard that Khaw and his wife May Chong had distributed at his clinic.
Loving pooch: Alicia patting Miller as she plays with the dog in Penang yesterday. The Shih-Tzu went missing last month after wandering out of its owner’s home.
Khaw said the veterinarian told them that a woman from Kuala Lumpur had brought Miller to his clinic on Feb 21 and asked for the dog to be kept overnight there as she was leaving for the city the next day.
“I was convinced that the dog he was talking about was Miller because he mentioned about the scar on Miller’s left hind leg,” said Khaw when met at his business outlet in Prangin Mall yesterday.
He said he called the woman after obtaining her phone number from the veterinarian.
The woman claimed she had found the dog at Burmah Road but had given Miller away to a friend.
“I then told her that I had lodged a police report and after much coaxing, she finally admitted Miller was with her,” he added.

He said he drove to Kuala Lumpur with his wife and three-year-old daughter Alicia on Saturday afternoon.
The family was then reunited with Miller when the woman’s niece handed over the dog at a hypermarket in Cheras.
They also gave the woman RM500 as a token of appreciation and planned to send a bouquet to the veterinarian for his help.
Miller went missing after wandering out of its owner’s house at Irrawaddy Road.

Saved by grace (how to nurse new born orphan kitten)

Saved by grace (how to nurse new born orphan kitten puppy)

"You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him!" ~Romans 5:6-9

The above verses from the holy bible explains what God's grace is about. Men are doomed to eternal death, but by grace, God saved us. I heard of a news lately, it reminded me much about God's grace.

A lady caught a pregnant stray cat on the street and brought her to a clinic to get her spayed and aborted (this is a common, commendable, charity practice done in many countries to help put an end to the overwhelming stray population. to find out more about stray cat or dog population, click here.) During the neutering surgery, one of the technician saw that the fetuses within the uterus were moving. It seemed to him as though they were trying to breathe.


Should he rescue or leave the fetuses within the uterus to die slowly?

Let's look at the present issue here.

1. The momma cat was a stray - nobody wanted her, and after the surgery, the "owner" will leave her back where she belonged.

2. The technician was instructed to leave the uterus alone and do not free the fetuses.
3. The "owner" have asked for an abortion, not a caesarean.
4. The technician lived in a shared, rented room where pets are prohibited.
5. The technician is of low-income group - which means he's only got enough to feed himself on a daily basis. If he were to nurse the kittens, where should he find the money to buy milk, etc.?
6. The fetuses were "meant" to die.

What should he do?

Against all odds, without the knowledge of the other staffs, he cut the uterus, allowed the kittens to breathe, and kept it in his room. He nursed them, and they survived as orphans, without a momma.

When I heard this, I couldn't help but think... "These kittens were doomed to die. Legally/juridically they must die. But what saved their lives?"

Love and grace.

So was how God saved us, only in much much more incredible, bigger ways -

He DIED, brutally tortured for us, in order to save us.
Would the technician die to save the kitten's life? ;-)

Would the technician bear whippings, spattings and crucifixion to save the kitten?
