Help urgently needed for cats in Singapore

 

 

Dear everyone,

 

It is with an extremely heavy heart that I write to tell you that all news

of a culling campaign is true. The authorities have been culling the cats

for the past few days but now have come out to admit that they are doing so,

after denying it just yesterday morning. We are appealing to all of you for

any help you can give us :-

The cats are registered under a government initative, the Agri-Food and

Veterinary Authority of Singapore's Stray Cat Rehabilitation Scheme. These

cats are sterilised and cared for by the volunteers. This scheme has been

grounded to a halt on the basis of public hygiene.

 

We are appealing for your help urgently, in terms of medical advice to show

cats are not a public health menance, and for you to show that the

international animal welfare organisations stand on the side of the stray

cats in Singapore.
