A case of using an RIP-cat to solicit donations

We subsidised the treatment of Tuah in November 2012: http://animalcare.my/2012/11/29/medical-and-neutering-subsidy-for-rescued-cat-in-melaka-nora-faswanti-bt-ibrahims/

Nora Faswanti informed us today, through email, that a certain organisation is using Tuah’s photograph to solicit donations, but Tuah has already passed away on 31st May this year. We have advised Nora to inform the said organisation of Tuah’s demise. Let’s hope it is just a case of miscommunication and lack of information on the part of the said organisation.

For a photo of Tuah, please click on the link above.

Hai…ingat x psl kucing ni yg animalcare pernah bantu?kucing ni sy namakan Tuah…dia sihat bersama sy hinggalah Tuah mati diracun…masalah sekarang ada pihak menggunakan gambar tuah & mohon dana..sy betul2 marah sebab animalcare yg bantu bukan (name of organisation given)..pernah dengarkan?
Mereka paparkan pic kucing2 yg mempunyai tuan & tanpa kebenaran..cara mereka tidak betul kerana hanya satu gambar saja akan buat semua org kasihan & Trus beri bantuan kewangan..

Saya harap pihak animalcare beritahu agar sesape sedar yg hanya pihak animalcare yg bantu saya & jgn sesiapa guna pic Tuah utk minta dana agar tiada pihak yg memberi wang atas belas kasihan tanpa tahu Tuah dah tiada sejak 31 Mei lalu atas sebab diracun..

Kalau dulu x mahu tolong kucing2 sakit,kenape sekarang..bln puasa..bru mohon dana utk bantu kucing terbiar?sbb Pecinta kucing hatinya lembut & mudah tersentuh serta senang membantu..?

Saya mahu mereka x gunakan pic tanpa kebenaran.

    Perhaps, photos could be watermarked to prevent misuse by other parties. It’s an extra step for those seeking for help/ donation appeal.
