Hi, I hope what Im going to write here is not interrupting. My purpose to write this true story here is because Im really out of idea to help out to save the dogs happened in a shelter in Kedah.
well, here is the story..I knew about this shelter months ago.the first visit had made me surprised to c 400+dogs and 200+cats in one shelter and is fully run by a couple of husband and wife.I was totally wordless to see the amazing couple alone take care of such a big shelter with so many animals inside.I had fell in love to the couple because I really saluted them.So, I decided to help. And they said they would preferred to receive cash donations because they are poor and they need the money to buy needs for the animals there.
Ok, there started my virgin donation to the shelter with my pennies in my pocket, since I was unemployed that time.the more frequent I visit the shelter, the more I give the cash donation to the couple without any knowledge of my family.Before that, I dunno how to handle any urgent case happened on the street. But since I know that, at least I could asked for their help to assist me in rescuing the strays on the street. of course, I paid them each time after rescuing a stray (min is rm50).One case after one case, and we are already close to each other.there came another side, the couple had started to ask for more;but I still help in cash donation without any word.Because for me, they are really heroes.Day by days and more and more people knows them and they had already became so famous. Cash donations, kibbles. rices, cages and any other donations flow to the shelter each day.they had turned from poor couple to the other.Visitors are there everyday and even the public dumped their dogs to the shelter each single day (take note : there is at least 3 dogs dumped by public each single day, excluded cats).and now the problems come. because they never put any dog or cats up for adoption. guys, just imagine.the animals there are all non-spayed/neutered. please multiply yourself and you will get the increased amount of animals there each day.400+ dogs had been increased to almost 800dogs just in months.they even never separate the sick and healthy dogs and cats.so, if u happen to visit the shelter one day, u can c there are dead bodies which had not been buried yet due to short of manpower) because the couple nowadays got to entertain so many of visitors each sec each min each day.they don have time to take care all of the dogs and cats there.even they got time to cook the rice, but they got no time to feed.even they got time to feed,but they just top-up the new rice with the rotten-ed rice with worms.even they got time to add on the rice to feed the animals, but they do not have time to change the water in the bowls and u can c most of the animals there are so thirsty and hungry(hungry till one dog will go n eat the vomit thing which came out from the other ill-ed dog; thirsty till they could even fight for water). (p/s : y do i keep mentioned animals (because there are not just dogs and cats, but u could also c monkey,squirrel, birds, musangs, gooses, and chicken.) well, there came a chance for me to contribute more to the shelter.I grabbed the chance to help to clean the shelter days ago.I and the volunteers there were so exhausted to help out but we enjoyed because at least we could see the 'smiling faces' on the fury kids.but we were disappointed too,because there were few of people looking for adoption but they back with empty hands just because of the stubborn couple who keep rejecting to give away any animal in the shelter.the reason given was always the same : we love our animals so much and we sleep with them each night and we even take care of them since they were a baby.gosh, come on!the dogs there died everyday and i could say that almost 90% of the dogs there are sick the worst part is the place is so unhygienic!one of the volunteer managed to asked a vet to the shelter to c the sick pups which were lying there with half-died condition. the vet said he couldn't do much because all of the dogs and pups already infected by diseases.and the thing which had disappointed us was while we as volunteers there were so busy with helping out, but the couple were doing nothing, they were just walking here and there to entertain the visitors n press.Im here begging for ideas to find a solution to help the animals there.esp the pups...almost all of the pups have bloated stomach.they are dying each day!!!!Im not bluffing here..!Im saying the truth!feces n urine, vomit discharges, houseflies, worms, rubbishes...are everywhere.that is a totally sick place for the animals.Now i dare to say that, they are not heroes, but they are 'murderers'.im sorry to say that, but i couldnt hold back myself to say all these..as i heard from somebody saying that, there was a paypal account created by somebody, received donations everywhere and there was quite a big amount too..but we see nothing done to the shelter at all.Of course,we got no right to control the money because we are nobody,but we at least got the right to know if the things happened related to the animals' welfare there.as i know, the cleaning project had been last for 3days,but the volunteers said that they could just do very least only,because the shelter is really in a big mess and dirty. Alright, i couldnt say any longer.but i know that some of u there knows about the real condition in the shelter.pls stand out and do something to help.or else u also will become on of the killer. by the way, i apologize if i had said something rude,but i can swear that i never bluff I just hope that what i write here can help to the poor souls at the shelter.thats all

I posted a comment under Georgie's post saying, "I've been there. Everything that he said is true." The next day, Georgie's account was hacked and shut down (the only way to make his posts disappear from someone else's page), and I was deleted and blocked from Pak Mie's page. Hmm... what are they trying to hide?
