We wish to thank the feeders who have come forward to participate in this proposed project.
We also wish to reiterate that this is our proposal to the MPSJ and that we will seek an audience with the councilor in charge as well as our assemblyman, YB Hannah Yeoh, for further discussion on the feasibility of what we propose and we hope something good with materialise.
Wish us luck!
Will update when we have news.
Thank you!
A quick recap of what we are going to propose:
1. Ear-notched animals: All ear-notched animals (dogs and cats) will NOT be captured. If they are captured, they will be released immediately as they have already been neutered.
2. Designated “Animal-Friendly” zones:
(a) We identify designated areas where the stray animals are exempted from capture-and-kill.
(b) A feeder will be responsible in each area.
(c) The feeder will ensure that the animals in the area are neutered and given appropriate medical treatment when necessary. The feeder is entitled to claim a subsidy from AnimalCare or use the services of PAWS’ mobile clinic.
(d) The feeder will submit a monthly report to AnimalCare detailing the number of animals, the health condition of the animals and other relevant information.
(e) At the end of 12 months, a full report will be submitted to the MPSJ. If the results are favourable, we will lobby for more areas to be under the “Animal-Friendly” zone, but we need a feeder to be responsible for each area.
We also understand that managing dogs could be more tricky in the MPSJ area, so here is what we propose:
3. Dog license:
(a) Licenses for neutered dogs will be RM10 per year while licenses for unneutered dogs will be RM100. Exemption is granted for elderly dogs, certified unfit to be neutered by the vet.
(b) Upon payment of this RM100 for an unneutered dog, an MPSJ voucher will be given to the owner whereby the dog can then be brought for subsidised neutering at PAWS or a participating clinic. Once neutered, the license for the dog in the following year will only be RM10.
The above is part of the draft proposal we hope to submit to MPSJ for their approval.
We need your support, please. Without your support, this proposal cannot be implemented.
To all caregivers who want the best for the street animals, please support us.
