Animal Shelter !!!

The SPCA animal shelter is for homeless animals and animals that are abused or neglected. There are about 7000 animals brought to the animal shelter each year and about 700 of those are abused. The fines in Malaysia are not high enough to stop the owners from mistreating their animals. The most they can be charged is RM 200. They should be charged much higher and the Malaysian government is looking into higher fines for abuse. Here at the SPCA in Ampang all cats and dogs are neutered. This is a good thing because it prevents the animal from breeding and causing too many babies. One of the sad things they do at the SPCA is that animals that are not adopted are killed (put to sleep). They kill them with anethesia. They do not do this for fun. They do it because they have to. They do fun fairs to raise money for the neutering and the taking care of the animals. They also sell them at the mall because the people will not often go to the shelters.
