MPPP's Trigger Happy Methods of Killing Strays

Yet again, I got word from a dog lover that due to complaints from Apartment tenants near Queensbay Mall Penang, they came and caught a friendly dog named Rambo, tied up his legs and killed him.

All this happened last Friday 6th November 2009.

What is it with the council and this cruel manner of killing?

Should we be allowed to do the same to their family members, orphans, beggars etc?

I really hope those who filed this complaint gets whats coming to them. All these strays come from human errors and human irresponsibility.

Damn it.

This is why GrASS was formed and we are still working to build it up and save as many as we can. Right now, we are still trying to get fundings etc to get land. That is the main thing we need.

We are working as fast as we can, even with limited resources we are still trying to request for grants.

Faith, belief, passion and the desperate desire for a change is driving us through this and we will do our very best to make the change happen.

Please support us in any way you can.

Thank you.

Fund Raising

Charity gig by band of lawyers for canine welfare project

BESIDES sharing a common interest in law, friends Mohd Izral Khairy, Clarence Chua, Gregory Ling, Philip Pua and Mark Ho also shared a passion for playing musical instruments and singing.
So the five lawyers got together and did what they thought was the right thing to do – they formed a band. Today the band Thin Izzy not only performs at private gigs but also for charitable events.
"Our first gig together for charity was at the KL Bar Charity Night in 2005 and we have not looked back since,'' said Mohd Izral.
He said the band played a wide repertoire of music but their favourite genre was rock.
"But that doesn't mean we only play rock numbers as our performance also includes pop, soul and funk,'' said Mohd Izral who plays the bass guitar.
Meanwhile, Gregory said all of Thin Izzy's members grew up on a staple of 80's music and this was also reflective in what they played.
Their latest charity gig will be at Finnegans Pub in Bangsar tomorrow where the group will perform in aid of the Malaysian Dogs Deserve Better (MDDB) canine welfare project.
"For me getting involved in charitable events is good. Furthermore, dogs are man's best friend and how can we turn our back on them?,'' said Gregory.
The band will start playing at 9.30pm.
Pub manager Celestine Sanyom said RM5 from the sale of each plate of fish & chips as well as RM3 from the sale of every bottled beer would go to MDDB.
"There will also be a lucky draw as well as free tickets for the EPL All Star show at Stadium Putra, Bukit Jalil on Nov 22 to those who donate to MDDB,'' he added.
The MDDB team will also be there with their canine volunteers to meet the patrons.
