Save the animals!!!
The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is appealing
to Singaporeans to stop dumping animals.
Let us all stop to think about how we can help reduce the number of unwanted
pets and strays.
There is a growing trend to abandon animals be they unwanted litters, outgrown
pets, mongrels or purebreds - thousands are
discarded each year when the novelty wears off - victims of a
throw-away society.
In February 2002 for example: Animals brought in to the SPCA numbered 235 dogs,
401 cats, 72 rabbits, 56 hamsters and 2 guinea pigs.
The SPCA hopes that more care and thought will go into the ownership
of an animal - it is a lifetime of commitment, not to be entered into lightly.
It is better to deprive yourself of owning a pet, than to discard it when you
don't have the time to look after it. And pet owners are reminded to have their
animals sterilised to prevent unwanted litters being born.
Let us all think of the animals and remember that they do not deserve to be
dumped like unwanted rubbish.
