The Malaysian Animal NGO Coalition, comprising 40 animal welfare organizations across Malaysia, called upon the Chief Minister of Negeri Sembilan to retract the proposed culling of stray dogs and replace it with a No-Kill policy, including sterilization and responsible adoption. The memorandum also advocated for effective reforms to the Animal Welfare Act 2015.
Our Appeal to the CHIEF MINISTER OF NEGERI SEMBILAN:
- Cease the proposed culling of stray dogs and replace it with a No-Kill policy.
- Establish an open dialogue with animal rights organizations to find more sustainable and humane solutions.
The Malaysian Animal NGO Coalition is determined to continue collaborating with the authorities in ensuring a more just and sustainable resolution to the stray dog issue. We believe that a No-Kill policy is the best solution for managing the stray dog population humanely and responsibly.
Persatuan Haiwan Terbiar Malaysia (SAFM), the Stray Animal Society of Malaysia, firmly supports the No-Kill Policy and urges the immediate reform of the Animal Welfare Act 2015.
