Stop Malaysia's barbaric treatment of stray dogs. (warning, images of animal abuse)

If you’re a stray dog in Malaysia, your worst enemy is the one who’s supposed to be your best friend. Dog catchers working for the local councils use totally inhumane methods every day, kicking them, strangling them, dragging them across the pavement until they’re a bloody mess and then throwing them into the backs of lorries without food or water for days, causing them to turn on each other. The big ones eat puppies and smaller dogs because they're just so hungry, and mad from the heat.

On top of that, dog catchers assaulted two members of NGO Malaysia Independent Animal Rescue who were recording this obscene behaviour, including Puspa Rani, the president of the of the organization.

Meanwhile irresponsible people all over Malaysia refuse to neuter their animals and regularly throw out their dogs and abandon litters of puppies on the streets. (Puspa Rani fostered my puppy after he'd been abandoned on a garbage heap when he was only a week old, feeding him and his five littermates puppy formula with a syringe. Thanks to her he survived, although the rest of his litter didn't.)

Please sign this petition calling on the director general of the department of veterinary services in Malaysia to take action.
 
Sadly a petition won't change animal abusers into decent human beings.
It's a noble gesture, but besides perhaps raising awareness it won't change much (Though I wish it wasn't true)
 
Signed it.

I would of fed the two members to the dogs for using their time on saving dogs, instead of using their time to help stop homosexuals from being fined or locked up by the government for just being homosexual.

You sign a petition against animal abuse, not anti homophobia, then say you would feed people actually helping animals rather than signing a petition to dogs.







Ok then.

Ok then.

When did I say I would rather feed people helping animals than sign a petition to dogs?

I signed the petition. I'm against animal cruelty just like any other normal human being. The dog catchers would of been dessert.

Oh, I misread that then.
 
Signed! Definitely didn't watch the video because I didn't want to cry my eyes out and be depressed all day but I know how terribly cruel people can be.

^ Misunderstood what you wrote too because you said the two members instead of dog catchers. I'm so glad you didn't mean what I thought you did. Either way it's not a good thing but at least you weren't talking about the people trying to help the dogs.
 
Signed! A public awareness and education campaign in Malaysia would probably work better than a petition, but I hope the petition helps.

Lol sorry. I meant all of them. The activists and the evil dog catchers :p but I wouldn't really feed anyone to hungry dogs :D

This group is very active with that sort of thing, they're always doing fundraisers, bringing their rescue dogs and cats and talking about the issues they face so don't worry, the petition is just a small part of a bigger movement :)

Thanks everyone who signed!

Okay so I misread again because you did say the bold part :/

I don't get if you're trying to make a joke that doesn't make any sense but you're saying two different things. You are against animal cruelty but think no one should waste their time helping animals who don't have a voice and make a joke about them being fed to dogs for doing so?

To keep it simple, yes, yes and no joke. Feeding people to dogs isn't funny, it is just one of those things you say but not really mean.

Why are you against people helping animals, exactly? And why say something that you don't mean, if you weren't joking?
 
^ Just a guess, and i don't know if this will help or harm, but I suspect what Punisher was doing was pointing out that while against animal cruelty himself, there might be more pressing issues that the peoples time could be potentially better spent on, in this case human rights. It is a very common and difficult point to make without offending people. But if you look at the motivation behind the thought it comes from a place of care and compassion.

Everyone has to make choices which battles they want to put their energy and effort into. Imagine if there are two people trying to get support for a given cause, person A is petitioning to stop an liquor store from opening next to a daycare. And person B is petitioning to stop people from abusing animals. While person A's cause may be a good one, and would benefit the community image, how could a person spend so much time and energy on that cause when there are animals being abused.

Animal cruelty is not something that should be ignored. But I also can see the benefit to instead of everybody putting their efforts into many different causes all fighting over resources and energy resulting in no organization or cause getting the funding and support it needs to actually succeed. But Having people prioritize what issues should be taken care of first, and combining efforts to actually stand a chance at stopping some of the horrors from happening in this world. The way it is now there is an overload of issues that all want our attention, and people are constantly seeking support, and instead of tackling our problems one at a time, we bounce around from issue to issue never solving any of them.

So it can strike a nerve when you hear someone looking for support for an issue that seems insignificant compared to other atrocities.

It's just more difficult for people to accept that view in this case because of peoples deep connection to animals.

I am not saying that people should abandon the issues they feel like putting their efforts to, but I think it is worth it to understand why some people may take issue that you would pick a particular issue over another.
And I do think it would do the world good if people could pool their efforts on a few main issues until they are solved, and work our way through one at a time constantly improving.

And my apologies Punisher if I give you to much credit for caring about your fellow humans, and completely messed up my interpretation. What can I say, I took a gamble.
 
I'll sign it anyways. There's no negative effect if I do or don't... Like many petitions.

As for the thought of human rescue VS animal rescue... Just because someone signs a petition, or starts one, or starts something to help animals... Does not mean they think humans aught to shrivel up and die (though surely some should be banished to an island, for the way they treat animals AND people...), but would like to take part in something that means a lot to them.

So, it really isn't animals VS humans, it's just one minor petition/signature, towards ONE of MANY issues. :) I personally don't just "save the animals" it's anything that comes my way that I think is something that is worth the time and cause; whether dealing with people and animals.
 
*back for just a sec* I agree signing the petition is a good thing, and if I recall correctly Punisher signed the petition as well he just added some extra commentary, which was not understood so I then later maybe rudely inserted myself into the discussion to attempt to offer an explanation. I wasn't trying to imply that signing the petition was bad in any way. :)
