irresponsible pet owners...

SINGAPORE :the Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority plans to extend micro-chipping to all newly licensed dogs, including locally bred ones; this measure is already in place for imported dogs (i'm micro-chipped!). With this, the AVA hopes to deter pet abandonment as irresponsible owners can then be traced and enforcement action taken against them.
Each year, some 6,000 dogs and 12,000 cats have to be put to sleep *sob sob*

as far as i know, there are many good-hearted indidviduals who tried to adopt/ feed/ spayed as many stray cats & dogs as possible, with their own money. however, their resources are often limited, and sometimes, unlawful (HDB apartments are allowed only 1 dog of a toy breed or its cross), since 80% of singaporeans stayed in 'pigeon holes' (apartment blocks). and, most strays are not of the 'toy' category.
if only, we can set up a no- kill shelter!
