My Dream Come True

          Without us even being aware, third year ended with the ever-so-scary exam. The week after we finished our exams, we stayed on for our elective posting. We chose Society for the Prevention of Cruelty against Animals (SPCA) as our location. It is, to many of my friends' surprise, related to animals instead of human health. You know, we can see human patients everyday, so just to take a breather, we decided to break free from the tiny box and get a view of the outside world. The center, based in Ampang, works towards better animal welfare and protection. They take in strays and abused pets, mainly cats and dogs, take good care of them and do their best in finding them a good home.

          Our everyday activity include cleaning the cages, feeding the animals, socialise with them (meaning playing with them, of course), and also observe the process of castration and spaying of the animals by veterinarians.

special thanks to Yu Zhen who took a lot of our photos there ^^)

          In the process we have more insight and awareness toward the sufferings of the animals and the ways to counter them. We were encouraged to adopt animals instead of purchasing them from pet shops. Give the abandoned animals a new home. Do not breed them, instead, neuter/spay them so that there won't be litters of puppies and kittens thrown away or die due to lack of care. Your pet benefits from it too because by neutering them it decreases the risk of sexually transmitted diseases, prevent death due to roaming of the streets in search of a mating partner, and some of the other diseases. 

          It is, in fact, my dream to go to SPCA one day and do my part. This elective posting has given me the chance to realise my childhood (and current) dream. Will be missing the doggies and kitties there, a lot =)
