LACES Programme In Kundang : In The Cases Of Rosie and Diana

A survey was carried out by Furry Friends Farm's volunteer on the stray populations in Kundang where Furry Friends Farm is located. Kundang is a small town located in between Sungai Buluh and Rawang, Selangor. The majority of populations are Chinese and many local dogs are being kept by residents as guard dogs. It is a common sight in Kundang to see packs of local dogs belonged to the residents roaming freely along the streets in the residential areas and without doubts every half yearly, newborn puppies can been seen in every corner of the wet markets, restaurants and hawker centres.
We can see here one of the examples of the unwanted litters in a hawker centre in Kundang Town.
a) This tricolour female dog, named Rosie by the hawkers has been residing in the area for the past three years. She has been contributing to a big number of unwanted litters since. Today, we spotted her nursing her five puppies. The puppies are merely 6 weeks old. Upon interviewing the hawkers, everyone seems to be loving Rosie, providing her sufficient left over food but nobody
wants to be responsible on Rosie's welfare in the society.
b) This white short legged female terrier crossed breed, named Diana by the hawkers is also one of the strays residing in the same area with Rosie but being fed by another group of hawkers. Everyone loves her and we are being informed that her last litter was delivered not long ago but was killed by Diana. Literally, Diana stepped on her puppies to death, leaving behind only a brown
female puppy.
