For those of you who know Jacky’s story, we are sad to share that Jacky passed away this morning. Judy updated us. Jacky had been suffering from end-stage kidney failure for many months now, so as with the protocol at Imm’s Shelter, Judy will bring home any dog or cat who requires special care. Jacky…

It had been brought to our attention through an article published by Kosmo.com: https://www.kosmo.com.my/2023/10/02/bau-hamis-tiada-beruk-petanda-ada-harimau/ that live puppies were used as bait by Perhilitan to lure and capture panthers in the Kuala Pilah area. Below is our appeal to Perhilitan and DVS to kindly stop using live puppies and instead, use meat or any method which does not…

Kudos to this unprecedented effort! The news: https://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/nation/2023/09/29/for-sabahs-orangutan-a-forested-lifeline-across-plantations/ Excerpts from FMT: Sabah’s largest group of orangutan are getting a forested lifeline – a wildlife corridor across oil palm plantations that will link a forest reserve to a wildlife reserve.

The news: https://www.scmp.com/news/asia/south-asia/article/3235924/crocodiles-escort-dog-safety-india-stunning-scientists Was it done out of empathy? Compassion? Or, as the experts opine, the crocodiles were too full to eat again or have had a previous bad experience trying to eat a dog? Now, which is it? I think only the crocodiles know!! Whichever it is, it ended well – the dog was saved…

The news: https://theprint.in/opinion/india-can-resolve-dog-human-conflict-like-us-and-netherlands-without-killing-the-canine/1772686/ The last paragraph: In the typical fashion for economists, we conclude by proposing both short and long-run solutions.

In the short run, regardless of which side of the street dog issue one is…

Einstein derived a lot of company from his cat, Tiger. Isaac Newton was also very fond of his cat, Spithead. “If a man aspires towards a righteous life, his first act of abstinence is from injury to animals.” – Albert Einstein There can be little doubt that Einstein enjoyed Tiger’s company, especially when he had difficulties,…

It is extremely sad and heartbreaking when we hear of service dogs and search & rescue dogs being euthanised. Every animal is entitled to live out their natural lives, but service dogs, in particular, are heroes who have served humanity. They did not ask to be service dogs – it wasn’t their choice. But humans…

The story: https://sg.news.yahoo.com/why-animal-welfare-volunteers-singapore-find-their-thankless-job-tiring-drop-out-074509688.html We can totally relate to the many issues that they face. It is not just restricted to Singapore alone. It happens here as well. We have, in the past, encountered individuals who start off with so much passion and commitment, but the problem is, they do not know that everyone has limits. They…

We’ve received news about yet another kitten “adopter” who allegedly adopts kittens as food for his pet snake. There has already been a few of such people in the past and another one has surfaced again. So when you put your kittens or any animal up for adoption, please be very, very extra careful and…
