If the Klang dog pound was bad, the Selayang Municipal Council dog pound is mayhem at its worst. These pictures were taken by an animal activist who has been trying to bring change to the Selayang pound for years.

NONE The photos were taken yesterday morning. According to her, there were many dead dogs lying around and some had been packed into black garbage bags and placed at the entrance of the pound.

There was a lot of blood on the floor and according to the caretaker, the dogs had not been given food and water at all because ‘they did not have containers.’ He said the Veterinary Services Department people had not been to the pound for about a month.

The dogs are dropping dead of starvation and dehydration. The place is a nightmare and even some of the councilors have voiced their concern to us. We will have to go back to doing what we did for the Klang pound which has brought about some change.

NONE We will need to tell our local councilors that we will not tolerate such cruelty. According to the activist, she has been highlighting the deplorable state of the pound for the last three years but no one had taken the initiative to do anything about it.

She says she has seen many horrific things during her almost weekly visits to the pound - such as a dog with one eye popping out. She also alleges that dead puppies were simply washed into the drains.

According to her, the vet who is supposed to visit the pound does not do so anymore because of its new location in Rawang. So, she says, the dogs are left to die of starvation.

These are serious allegations. However, we are now sure that the people responsible who have not bothered to do anything so far will all now rush to the pound soon. Whatever it is, let justice be done for the voiceless.
