A town in Taiwan has built a new bridge to accommodate the increasing volume of traffic from cats! The 60-metre bridge is specially built with perches to keep these feline friends happy.

Houtong, is a former mining district but its local economy had collapsed since its mines closed in 2009. Thanks to its feline population it has a new lease of life - people now travel far and wide to see the cats in Taiwan’s “Cat Town”! http://cna.asia/19uDcMT (Video: APTN)

Council bans sales of non-shelter dogs, cats and rabbits

The Lead Type November 1, 2012 0

LOS ANGELES, Calif. — The Los Angeles City Council voted 13-2 Wednesday to make Los Angeles the largest city in the nation to ban pet stores from selling dogs, cats and rabbits purchased from commercial breeders.
People can still purchase pets directly from breeders, just not in stores, which will be able to obtain non-breeder stock from the city’s animal shelters or humane societies registered with the city’s Department of Animal Services.
City Councilman Paul Koretz introduced the measure with the intention of shutting down puppy and kitten mills and reducing the tens of thousands of euthanizations performed on unclaimed animals each year. The city euthanized more than 21,000 dogs, cats and rabbits in each of the last two fiscal years — about 37 percent of the animals impounded.
Pet shops and other retailers will have six months before the law goes into effect. The penalty for violating the ban will start at $250 for a first offense and goes up to $1,000 for a third strike.
Companion Animal Protection Society West Coast Director Carole Raphaelle Davis said the law would help end “the blood money contracts between puppy mill owners who abuse animals and L.A. pet retailers.”
“We are relieved that finally, the cries of L.A.’s shelter animals have been heard. Puppy mills and cruel pet factories will fade into history at last,” Davis said.
City Councilmen Bill Rosendahl and Mitchell Englander cast the dissenting votes.

Dog that lost snout saving girls arrives in US for surgery

AsiaOne
Saturday, Oct 13, 2012

DAVIS, California - The canine that was horribly disfigured after saving two girls in the Philippines has arrived in California, Davis, said the Associate Press.

Veterinarians at the University of California (UC) there will try to fix the injuries of Kabang, which became famous in the Philippines when it got in front of a speeding motorcycle to save its owner's young daughter and niece.

The crash took off its snout and upper jaw.

Veterinarians in the Philippines were unable to treat the injury and the dog has been living with its open wounds since.

The surgeons at UC say that Kabang will be undergoing stem cell treatment and will be requiring multiple surgeries, but they are confident they can improve its condition.

Last Sunday, almost 300 pet lovers attended a farewell party for Kabang in the Philippines as a send-off for the courageous two-year-old dog.

Kabang's trip to the US was organised by Animal Welfare Coalition US coordinator Karen Kenngott, who was also touched by the female aspin's (local mixed breed) story.

“The more time that goes by, the more Kabang is at risk of infection,” Kengott said.

“Fungal infections can be especially difficult to eradicate and any infection in the bone can be a lengthy process to treat at best. Her chances are better the sooner she can get those wounds closed,” she said.

It is estimated that the overall cost for Kabang's treatment is US$20,000, which was raise in an internet campaign.

The dog, which recently gave birth to six puppies, is expected to be in the US for a month.

A family has had an emotional reunion with their cat six years after it left the house.

Jo and Ade Haigh had all but given up on their black and white pet, Charlie, who was nine when he left the house in Fareham, Hampshire, in 2006.

However, Mrs Haigh spotted the cat when she was out walking and was able to verify that it was Charlie thanks to a microchip that had been fitted to him.

Remarkable: Jo Haigh poses with her cat, Charlie, who has been found after going missing six years ago

When he first went missing the family put up 'lost' posters and contacted nearby vets' surgeries, but to no avail.

But then Mrs Haigh spotted the family pet and took him to an animal shelter where she works to carry out tests on his microchip.

Animal activists to raise concerns with PM

By WANI MUTHIAH
wani@thestar.com.my

PETALING JAYA: The National Institute of Public Administration (Intan) will organise a meeting between the Prime Minister’s Office and animal rescuers and activists.

Intan’s research centre senior assistant director Suzianah Nhazzla Ismailsaid this would give animal rescuers and activists a platform to share their problems and concerns.

“We are aware that abusers are just given a slap on the wrist due to the lack of strong laws to punish those who harm animals,’’ said Suzianah Nhazzla after meeting participating animal welfare and rescue groups.

Suzianah Nhazzla said the exact date of the “Take Out The Blindness, Show a Little Kind­ness: They have Rights Too” event, scheduled be held at Intan’s main campus in Bukit Kiara, would be announced in early September.

She noted that Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak was an animal lover who had six cats.

Rescue groups will also be bringing some cats and dogs that have been maimed to showcase the gravity of the situation.

“Besides the forum, there will also be an exhibition where rescue groups will come together to highlight abuse cases,’’ said Suzianah Nhazzla.

She said there would also be an adoption corner where pictures of cats and dogs in need of homes would be exhibited.

According to Suzianah Nhazzla, there would also be a forum titled “Would it Hurt For You to Care? It Hurts Them When You Don’t”, which would be moderated by Selangor SPCA patron Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye.

Representatives from SPCA, Malaysian Dogs Deserve Better, Stray Cats Rescue and Treatment Community Help (Scratch) and Noah’s Ark Ipoh will speak at the forum.

Some of the issues expected to be raised include the importance of neutering companion animals, prohibiting pet shops from selling companion animals and the rising number of private dog catching companies being engaged by local councils.

Hong Kong hails success in monkey birth control

Published on Jul 30, 2012

HONG KONG (AFP) - Hong Kong on Monday hailed the success of a birth control programme for the city's wild monkeys, saying the primates' numbers have dropped 15 per cent over four years.

Officials said the latest monkey census showed the population stood at 1,965 last year, down from 2,320 in 2008 - a year after the city started fertility controls for the primates using methods including vasectomies.

The conservation department said about 70 per cent of the monkeys had been treated under the "monkey desexing programme". All treated monkeys were implanted with a microchip for identification.

The government decided to take action after receiving numerous complaints from the public including reports of aggressive monkeys chasing hikers for food.
