Save the World's Saddest Dolphins

Singaporeans and the Animal Concerns Research and Education Society (ACRES) are also calling on RWS to free the dolphins. (Visit ACRES Facebook page for more.)
Support the campaign “Save the World’s Saddest Dolphins”.

Mr. Tan Hee Teck, CEO

Cc Ms Aw Kah Peng, CEO
Singapore Tourism Board
Dear Mr. Tan:
I am contacting you on behalf of the Dolphin Project of Earth Island Institute. Our organization is working to protect dolphins around the world and prevent dolphins from being removed from the wild for captivity.
We know that Resorts World Sentosa has dolphins now being kept in the Philippines that were captured in the waters of the Solomon Islands.
We would like to offer the possibility of setting up a rehabilitation and release project for these dolphins in conjunction with Resorts World. Your cooperation would ensure that these dolphins be returned to their natural habitat where they can thrive, as opposed to keeping them in captivity, separated from their original home range, their pod and their extensive social environment.
In helping return these dolphins, Resorts World would show the people of Singapore and the world that you are a true steward of the environment and a responsible company sensitive to the harm captivity inflicts on dolphins.
We have reached an arrangement with the villagers of the Solomon Islands for them to stop killing dolphins in exchange for funding from Earth Island to help develop alternative energy, clean water, and sustainable fishing. We believe that if the people of the Solomon Islands can end their 450-year-old hunts to help dolphins, Resorts World can too.
We know the people of Singapore love dolphins. Most Singaporeans would object to keeping dolphins in captivity if they knew the dangers to the dolphins and the horrific capture practices of the Solomon Islands and other dolphin capture countries.
Thank you for your consideration of our proposal.
Sincerely,
Richard O’Barry
Marine Mammal Specialist

Animal Abuse
From :http://zeuscommunications.blogspot.com/2010/07/animal-abuse.html
Tuesday, July 13, 2010 Animal Abuse
When people think of animal welfare in Singapore - commonly AVA or SPCA comes to mind.
In the case of AVA, they are in charge of Food, Animals & Pets and Agriculture & Fisheries in Singapore. Are they like most Singaporeans where food is their top priority and animals last on their list? We would be concerned if it was, because many people look up to AVA as an authoritative figure, yet are they doing enough for the animals? AVA is about "protecting the health of animals, fish and plants through advanced technology and professional expertise in agriculture, fisheries, veterinary science and the life sciences." Volunteers in animal welfare, have you seen this happening? Have you seen them "protecting the health of animals". Speak up. Fear not. You are in animal welfare because you are the voice for the animals.
In the past five days, we have come across TWO obvious cases of animal abuse and animal cruelty. There could be more, but we were only aware of these two.
Through the animal welfare circle, we were informed of two grossly neglected Shihtzus (mother and daughter) and both dogs were eventually surrendered to SPCA. One of the dogs, Xuan Xuan, was emaciated and she had scabies. (Scabies, also called sarcoptic mange, is caused by a specific type of mite that burrows itself into a dog's skin. It can be spread from dog to dog through direct contact such as when dogs are in a kennel as mites move from one dog to another). What do you think SPCA would have done for these poor neglected doggies? Give them the love, food and medical attention that these two dogs have obviously been deprived of? SPCA - Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, whose mission is to "promote kindness to animals and birds and to prevent cruelty to animals and birds". Perhaps SPCA felt that putting Xuan Xuan down was promoting kindness and preventing cruelty (and suffering)? Because that was what they WOULD have done! Why, you ask? Its just scabies. No doubt scabies is contagious but IT IS CURABLE. It’s not as if Xuan Xuan is old and has an incurable disease. Xuan Xuan is middle-aged, about 6 to 7 years old and she merely has scabies. Why was this Society not willing to help the dog?
SPCA also explains on their website "why we put animals to sleep . . . because quite a number of the dogs are non HDB breeds”. That’s quite understandable. As long as HDB believes that there are no responsible pet owners in Singapore, this ruling will always be in place. However, Xuan Xuan is a Shihtzu, falling under the category of a toy dog, HDB APPROVED. Oh, perhaps it is because SPCA has no quarantine or isolation area? SPCA has been around since the 1800s but in 1954 they officially had its own place at Orchard Road. More than half a century has gone by and the quarantine area has yet to be built?
An animal welfare volunteer had to go down to SPCA to take both the dogs out and send them to the vet at her own expense. Did SPCA feel that both these dogs were not worth spending its public donations on or were they too much effort to care for till full recovery took place? Thank God for people who genuinely care for animals.
Both Xuan Xuan and Furby are presently at the Vet's, receiving the medical treatment they deserve and more importantly, the second chance they deserve. It wasn't their fault that they were abused and neglected by their owner. It truly would have been a sad, horrible life, being neglected, abused and then put to sleep. Poor Xuan Xuan would have died, never experiencing love.
Maybe SPCA should put more effort into promoting Virtual Pets.
In the Straits Time and TODAY on 14 July 2010, most people would have heard of the lady beating her little toy dog with a broom, simply because the little dog chewed on a cushion? That video and pictures of abuse have been widely circulated on You Tube and Facebook.
Read report here.
Watch video here.
Infuriated dog lovers are concerned. Has the dog been removed from the home to prevent further hurt, injury and abuse? In cases of child abuse, the child is immediately removed from the home and placed in foster care, to prevent further emotional trauma. In case the relevant authorities are unaware, dogs do feel pain, hurt and sadness. They do go through emotional trauma too. For children, they receive counseling to help them overcome their emotional issues and they have play therapy to "verbalize" their hurt. What about dogs? Dogs don’t receive counseling, nor are they able to verbalize their pain and emotional scars. Thus it is of great urgency that the dog is removed to safety immediately or do the authorities require proof before they step in and save a life?
According to reports on AsiaOne.com, AVA says SPCA has given them information on the "identities of the parties involved" and are currently investigating. However, both AVA and SPCA have declined to reveal this information until investigations are completed. Honestly, its about time AVA and SPCA came up with new excuses. This line has been way over used. Do they hope that if they take long enough to complete investigations, animal lovers will forget about this little dog?
Does it seem as if SPCA is pushing the case to AVA and vice versa? Is this not a clear case of dog abuse, falling under the jurisdiction of authorities dealing in animal welfare? News article from AsiaOne says "If convicted - person faces $10K fine", does it imply that the person has yet to be convicted although they are already aware of the identity of the abuser? Shame on all these government authorities in ANIMAL WELFARE who hesitate to HELP a tiny defenseless dog from being abused!
Quote from AsiaOne.com "Anyone with information on the case can contact AVA at 64717198 or e-mail ava_cawc@ava.gov.sg or the SPCA at 62875355 extension 9". Will someone please comment on WHAT information the authorities require? Are photographs and video of the dog clearly being abused insufficient? Would the dog's body lying on the post mortem table then be sufficient?

Loss of fur, severe itch and crusts on Xuan Xuan's head
Bad teeth

Facebook Group: STOP CAT ABUSE IN SINGAPORE
STOP CAT ABUSE IN SINGAPORE
Description:- Cat abuse is rampant is Singapore. It's a reflection of the sick twisted minds that exist in this country.
Many Singaporeans believe that stray cats breed indiscriminately and are a nuisance to society. Blame the cats for that mysterious scratch on their car. It's quite sickening, really, to see humans behaving as though they have the right to take away the life of an animal.
Take, for example, Mr Tony Tan Tuan Khoon,
proud killer of more than 300 cats. He lives at 47 Jalan Redop. This guy could be your neighbour, and he's killing cats as though it's fucking hunting season all year round. He acts like he's doing the cats a favor by killing them, claiming to cull cats to show them mercy. - How about the Chua Chu Kang Cat Killer? He RIPS CATS APART and leaves them on the 11th storey. Read this: http://tippedearclan.wordpress.com/2009/03/06/choa-chu-kang-cat-killing-fields/
(alot of graphic pictures, beware). Some people say its happening in CCK block 550+. Can you imagine this is happening in your neighbourhood?
There are much more of these killings happening all over Singapore, but all are hush-hush cos Singapore Government don't really want to deal with issues like this.
Please, I urge you to support this group, and to invite as many people into this group as well. So many cats are being abused in Singapore, and people are just pretending that nothing is happening.

Skate Migrate against Cat Hate
Skate Migrate against Cat Hate (facebook)
Dini and I, Jon Jon, are active members of NTU Cat Management Network (NTU CMN). On 4th April 2010, we hope to embark on an estimated 108km trip around Singapore on our longboards. Sounds ridiculous?Not as ridiculous as the fact that 27 cats are culled every 24 hours in Singapore.
There are many ways to take action and help. The most rewarding is to be a Cat Caregiver or volunteer with either NTU CMN or Cat Welfare Society.
The easiest is to donate to either organization. Even a dollar will go a long way in helping these two wonderful organizations give care to our feline friends.
Please lend us your support as we prepare ourselves for this trek. We'll be updating this page (hopefully) or our personal pages with pictures and videos of the actual trip as it happens.
This event is an independent project by Dini and I and not run/managed by either NTU CMN or CWS. Thus we won't be accepting donations personally.
While responding with an "Attending" for this event does not mean that you'll really be attending the trek with us and is instead a show of solidarity and support, we would really appreciate it if you could take your 'attendance' to the next level of support by making a contribution to the NTU CMN or CWS.
