Euthanasia at MPS Pound



On the 21st September 2007, SPCA representatives were at the Selayang pound to witness euthanasia of the dogs that were due. However, we only manage to watch a demonstration of euthanasia performed on ONE dog from the pound. The euthanasia was done by Dr Bakry of Vet-Fine (the contractor for MPS) by means of lethal injection through the heart.

It is a sad sight indeed, and not the kind of procedure we look forward to, ever. But this is what happens when there's just too many strays out there. Where does all the stray come from? What else could we do to prevent this from being a common sight? Well, the SPCA feels strongly that the all councils should target the SOURCE of the strays. And one huge source of the strays are from irresponsible pet owners! But this is a whole other story...

Meanwhile, we will still have strays on our streets. And with the strays still around, euthanasia rates are ever so high. And SPCA hopes that the council will hear the cries of caring Malaysians, and treat those strays in a humane manner, even if its due for euthanasia.
