About 300 stray dogs were rounded up by Pulau Ketam residents and deported to an isolated island to fend for themselves.
One half of them are already dead and the remaining ones may not live long. A rescue mission is being mounted and help is needed.
The residents of Pulau Ketam sent some 300 stray dogs to exile on a remote island where the harsh conditions almost certainly guarantee a horrible death. Of the 300 dogs sent there, more tahn three-quarters are persumed to be already dead. I traveled to this island with Sabrina Yeap of Furry Friends Farm and managed to save only one dog on this reconnaissance trip. We did see several other starving and dying dogs along the mangrove shore.
Iam mounting an urgent rescue mission to capture and transport teh remaining survivors back to Sabrina's Furry Friends Farm animal shelter. But time is running out and there might be only skeletons and carcasses left to collect on our next trip. Boat hire is expensive there. It is a tourists area and it has already costs me a few hundred ringgit for boat hire alone, so far. The rescued dogs cannot be transported on teh regular ferries.
Almost nobody will lift a finger to help without a fee. This is understandable. The locals are already shaking their heads in disbelief that there are outsiders who want to save the animals they so casually discarded. Instead of pointing fingers and antagonising them, we need their co-operation to help save the unfortunate creatures. In the process, we also hope to eductae the islanders on better treatment of animas. It would be an impossible mission if we didn't win their hearts.
