Society of Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
I went to the SPCA yesterday.
It was a very miserable and heartbreaking place.

I wanted to go there to buy some badges and t-shirts, but when Lu & I got there, we went to the pound (where they keep all the abandoned animals) first.

It was very hot & dirty & stinky, just like farms in a third world country!!
The cats were placed in tiny tiny cages.
Lots of meowing and barking.
Whole place smelled like crap.
All the animals looked very miserable.
Two cats kept meowing.
Really wanted to adopt them all!!

Then we went to the SPCA office just opposite, cos that's where they sell their stuff. While on our way, a family came out of their car with a dog. I immediately brightened up, exclaiming loudly "Oh! They're adopting it? =D"
The dude that was dragging the dog out of the car shot me a weird look.

No. They were coming to put it down (ie KILL) at the SPCA vet.
Together with two mice in a cage.
The dog was looking around, wondering where it was, peering at the pound opposite where there were many unwanted animals barking and meowing.
And in less than 24 hours, it was to be killed.

Killing 3 animals in one day, just cos they don't want to look after them anymore.
-Sigh- I'm glad Miao is caring for my turtle.

Then later, another family brought a cat in a box in, also to be killed.
The little girl was hugging her maid and crying.
Lu & I peered in the box and saw the cat. It looked ... scared.

That's 4 animals killed in over an hour.
On a weekday.
Why are people so irresponsible?

Anyway, a new MRT station has opened right beside the SPCA. It's on the yellow line, called Bartley. Go visit the SPCA, buy some stuff, help the animals.

Don't buy animals from pet shops. Adopt them, you get to save a life.

It costs $3000 to sponsor a kennel for a year. A kennel is a place where they keep an animal to be adopted. If you sponsor it, the animal will be kept there for a year waiting to be adopted. If not, it'll probably be put down in a week. When I grow up I'll sponsor 2-6 kennels a year!!


New drawing with PAINT TOOL SAI!! It's an awesome art program!
