You need a strong stomach to look at these, but this is reality and the problem needs to be addressed very urgently.
These photos were taken yesterday:
That was all they had previously, plain rice strewn on the floor whenever the caretaker managed to gather scraps and leftovers.
A decent meal, yesterday.
The one at the back – is he still alive?
Below are the ones who have died of either starvation or/and disease.
There were three yesterday.
Another dead dog was burnt on this spot yesterday morning.
Please help them.
Let your voice be heard.
These dogs need:
1. Food
2. Medical treatment
3. Homes
For a long-term solution, all stray animals need:
* More compassionate laws and legislation.
* Law-makers must realise animals deserve a right to live their lives on this earth. We have no right to classify them as “pests” and we certainly have no right to destroy their lives.
* More compassionate people who will care for them, and a strong voice from the public to lobby for change.
If you would like to see better treament of animals in your community, lead by example, and let’s do something to make a change.
Local councils normally act on complaints from the public. If the number of complaints can be reduced and people are more accepting of the presence of animals in their community, the number of animals in the pounds will decrease.
These dogs are definitely better off on the street than being in the pounds.
If only people would stop complaining…
If only humans would realise that this earth doesn’t belong solely to them, and the fact that they are stronger doesn’t mean they have the right to ill-treat those who are weaker than them.
Help us to help the stray animals by participating in CNRM. Neutering will control their breeding. Lead by example, and show that you care – feed the strays, give them shelter and protection, and get them neutered.
Every bit of love that you show to the animals helps and does make a difference.
The superiority of Man is not measured by how much violence, conquest or destruction he has garnered. It is measured by how much compassion he can shower on those weaker than him.
How many shelters and sanctuaries can we build? Practically every shelter and sanctuary is full and over-crowded, and some have to resort to euthanasia just to make space for incoming animals. But that’s not the way to solve problems, is it? We don’t kill orphans and old folks in homes to make way for new wards.
Neutering is one of the long-term solutions to this problem.
We are providing free spay-neuter for stray animals in six clinics. We work very hard to maintain a fund for this service that we offer to everyone and to the animals.
If you are a rescuer, or someone who is feeding the strays, please bring in the animals and we will get them spayed and neutered for you. If you can donate a little bit back into our fund, that would help very much so that we can continue helping more animals.
Please join us in CNRM. Please do this for the animals.
Killing is not the solution.
If you need spay-neuter services for the strays or rescued animals, please contact me at 012-6935870.

oh my god!! really breaks my heart after seeing this.. who are we do to this to the strays.. we are no GOD..some dogs are with collar!! means they are not strays..
i wish i can help but im staying in a condo…
GOD please help this strays ,, they dont deserved all this…
The puppies and dogs look so sad and depressed. They are infested with ticks. I can see layers of ticks on the puppies & dogs' paws, on the pound wall and even on the rice. The place is definitely filthy. MPS is cruel – they don't even provide the basics to the dogs, namely food and water. How dare they operate a pound this way?
Please publicise this as much as possible, i.e Facebook, twitter – we need international intervention as our politicians just sit on their butts and do nothing because it does not benefit them and they have no compassion towards animals. Useless bast****s

To the powers that be – shame on all of you. Helpless dogs are facing death from disease and starvation in Selangor dog pounds while you sit indifferently by. The latest horror story is Selayang Pound but it is not a new horror story, just a continuing one.
Recently, those in power make such a lot of noise about going to see the Klang Pound conditions for themselves. With so much advance publicity about their visits, the pound hastily euthanised the dogs and washed it down with bleach to make the place appear sanitary and organised as though the accusations of overcrowding, starvation and dead dogs in the holding pens were the collective imaginations of troublemaking animal welfare groups. There were photographs taken by various individuals before these visits. No amount of photoshopping could create that sort of fiction but they apparently choose to believe the sanitised conditions at the Pound rather than the gruesome pictures judging from the lack of reasonable and lasting changes made to the conditions at Klang Pound.
Have any one of you actually gone to see the pounds without the media circus and attending hoopla to herald your impending visit? I think not for if you did, you would surely vomit from the sight – if not the smells. You might also, for once, be thankful for the absence of the media in your regurgitative moment. But then again, it would be more concern for your self-image than the suffering of the animals.
From the time of the Pulau Ketam fiasco, you have all been quick to make statements about looking into matters and "doing something", even going so far as capitalising on the issue to mention it on your blogs but you have consistently gone on to do nothing. The architects of the masterplan to abandon helpless dogs to starve to death on a deserted island have never been brought to book. Shocking animal mistreatment and those involved got off scott-free, free to perpetuate the abuse again.
Do you believe that dogs are unimportant because they don't vote? They may not be enfranchised but I am along with and countless other people who are deeply disturbed by your lack of humanity and compassion for the suffering of the weak and voiceless. Those dogs are symbolic of your attitude to the electorate. We are all waiting for our elected representatives to keep their word to improve and maintain reasonable conditions at one dog pound, let alone all the dog pounds across the state of Selangor.
There is no end to this cruel treatment of dogs. It is a people problem. First we have irresponsible dog owners who do not spay, neuter their pets and so they breed. Then we have council people and dog catchers who see dogs as pests to be exterminated. In other words, people who hate dogs are in charge of catching and keeping dogs. The result is what you see.
The various animal welfare groups in Selangor must get together and form a loose coalition and pressure the Selangor State Govt to give these groups a yearly grant for them to pick up stray animals and also provide a piece of state land for a no-kill animal sanctuary so that stray animals picked up can be kept in a safe environment with proper food and medical care, pending rehoming.
Dogs cannot vote but dog lovers in the various animal welfare groups and their tens of thousands of supporters can vote… so put some political pressure on the politicians. Lobby the parliamentarians in your areas and the state assemblypersons, pester them, harass them and eventually just to get you guys out of their hair, they just might do something. What do we have to lose? I am already doing it.
Anthony Thanyasan of Petpostive and also a Councillor is refuting the allegations that Selayang pound dogs are being starved on his blog. He even publishes comments from another Councillor for Selayang who claims to have personally visited the Pound and seen for himself that the dogs are NOT starving.
The pound is claiming that they have food for the dogs – fish head curry. Yes, they are feeding the dogs fish head curry. Do you believe that? Fish head with bones and other sharp bits, high in salt and probably going off since fish head curry is not cheap so it must be a restaurant reject.
There is something rotten going on and it's not in the fish head.
I don't see any fish head nor stains of curry on the rice. What i see are only ticks. What lies are these people propagating?
