A nation’s duty to its voiceless strays


THE news of the death of some 25 dogs due to poisoning in Tanjung Bungah, George Town, is indeed heartbreaking (“Cruelty unleashed on dogs”, The Star, July 18; online at tinyurl.com/mrxzvdka). This comes two months after the report of 20 dogs found poisoned in Seremban (“Flat residents horrified after finding 20 dogs poisoned in Seremban housing area”, The Star, May 2; online at tinyurl.com/4k8e22sv).

Strays are already facing harsh living conditions, having to wander the streets in search of food and shelter. They need our mercy and compassion, not our cruelty and violence.
