Congratulations, PAWS!!!
PETALING JAYA: The Selangor government is allocating a total of RM150,000 to subsidise the cost of a pet neutering and spaying programme run by the PAWS Animal Welfare Society (PAWS).
PAWS manager Edward Lim said the subsidy was part of an effort to reduce the number of strays and to encourage pet owners in the state to neuter their pets.
“When we look at stray animal issues, the problem actually comes from us, the pet owners.
“Most stray animals we see out there come from the pet owners themselves. Sometimes it is difficult to monitor their pets all the time and it leads to accidental pregnancies,” he said.
Under the programme, Edward said RM100 would be subsidised for procedures on dogs and RM60 for those on cats.
He said the allocation, which will be given in stages, would address two areas: management fees and the subsidy programme.
“We are in the final stage of receiving the allocation as part of the subsidy and are currently waiting for the Selangor government to channel it to our organisation.”
