No Kill for 2010
 

SPCA has a vision, a vision that owners will take more responsibility for their companion animals and that less and less animals will be surrendered and less strays will be brought to the SPCA Animal Home in Ampang Jaya. In order for this vision to become a reality the public have a large role to play, within their own homes and places of work we need the public to recognize their responsibilities to the animals around them.
What is NO KILL?

NO KILL is an INTERNATIONAL MOVEMENT STARTED BY ANIMAL WELFARE ORGANISATIONS THAT BELIEVE:
 

  • The community and owners must be responsible for their companion animals.
     

  • Too many unwanted animals are abandoned by owners in shelters, on roads and in SPCAs and animal rescue organizations.
     

  • Putting to sleep (euthanasia) as a means to keep the overpopulation of companion animals down do not work and is a horrible alternative used to solve the overpopulation and unwanted pets.
     

  • Owners must understand that their pets must be spayed/neutered to prevent overpopulation.
     

  • Owners must know that SPCA cannot continue receiving animals and keep them all. SPCA currently receives 1200 dogs, puppies, cats and kittens. Only 10% get adopted. The rest are put to sleep. The owners must be part of the euthanasia process if SPCA informs them that the chances of adoption are low.

No kill in an ideal world would be never to euthanase an unwanted animal. In practical terms SPCA will probably never achieve this, however we feel that it is necessary to aim for this, and at this point we need to use strong language to get our message across to the public.
