The Rescue

I wont write a lengthy post on this. I'm deeply saddened by the news. The realization of the fact that such incidents actually happened in my very own country went so heavy on my heart.

3rd May 2009, a shocking news broke loose in the local and international media:

"About 300 stray dogs were rounded up by Pulau Ketam residents and deported to an isolated island to fend for themselves. Over half of them are already dead and the remaining ones may not live long. A rescue mission is being mounted and your 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 than three-quarters are presumed to be already dead."

Public has been responded aggressively towards the news, and so far a few rescue operation has been conducted and Furry Friends Farm has been taking care of the rescued dogs. I am deeply touched by the initiatives and their compassion for these homeless dogs.
I get to know some good people are pooling up money to buy rice and cages for furry friends farm, i will chip in some as well, anyone joining?
