Visitation to PAWS Animals Shelter
On 29 September, Organizing Chairperson Leo Lee Ann June together with 7 other Leo members went on a trip to Paws Animals Shelter in Subang. It was indeed a fruitful trip where volunteers get to know more about the shelter's condition and the very reason why it was set up for.
As early as 8 AM, all the Leos gathered at Monash entrance. With volunteers, Leo Melissa, Leo June and Leo AnnDee, everyone arrived at the shelter even before the shelter has begun open.
After a short briefing and signing up the forms, all the Leos set out to Walk the Dogs and wash them after that. All in all, the Leos walked and washed up an estimated 50 grown up dogs. Not only so, the Leos also washed up the shelter a bit...
We being human, has our responsibility in their existence. We may love them when we want to.. But what happens when we get tired of them? Some people just leave them stray and some suffered injury.. Due to that, some people thinks they are annoying and may bring disease, therefore the government has to put them in the pound. Thats where the Shelter comes in. The shelter has to put some of the Dogs to sleep if the population gets over-populated..
Sad to say... the shelter has no choice but to either put them to sleep or let them suffer out there in the community where they starve, they get stoned, they get knocked down by cars, or even slaughtered as delicacy...
Following are pictures taken there... Hope you enjoy it... Lets do our part by adopting the pets there... AND make sure the next time if YOU want to buy a pet.. THINK in a Long term~
