  • Why we do not cover boarding

  • Petition to amend Revised Animal Act 1953

    Cruelty happens everywhere, whether to animals or humans.  They key to correcting this social malady is empathy and education, but sadly, these sometimes do not work on many humans.  Hence, laws and punishment are required as deterrents to reduce the incidence of cruelty.   The Animal Act was revised in 2006, but its implementation and enforcement do…
