Quick response by Ipoh SPCA, state exco man shuts down catch-a-stray-dog campaign
IPOH: Quick action by two good Samaritans has possibly saved hundreds of dogs in the Tanjung Malim district from untimely deaths.
The Ipoh Society For The Prevention Of Cruelty To Animals (ISPCA), with the help of state executive councillor Datuk Dr Mah Hang Soon, managed to halt the “One Dog 10 Ringgit” campaign just in the nick of time.
Under the campaign, which was supposed to take place from Wednesday until June 12, members of the public would be paid RM10 for each canine they hand over to the Tanjung Malim District Council.
ISPCA president Ricky Soong said netizens had approached the society for help on its Facebook page at about 8pm Tuesday.
“People were outraged at the district council,” he said Wednesday.
Soong added that he then called Dr Mah for help, explaining that it was not the right way to go about dealing with stray dogs.
“Dr Mah assured me that he would help and by 11pm, I saw that all posts on the campaign had been deleted from the district council’s Facebook page.
