Despite laws prohibiting the capture of wildlife, wild birds continue to be trapped.

Every month, the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals receives on average, twenty complaints of cruelty, and takes in over 1, 000 unwanted animals.

Unwittingly some pet owners have contributed to animal abuse.  Regularly, we receive reports of dogs being chained up continuously, or caged for long periods of time.  As a result, some dogs have to be given up when they develop psychological problems.

Pets are abandoned when they outstray their novelty. Left on their own, they are often reduced to skin and bones.  In heavy rains, some are swept into monsoon drains.  A young puppy was recently rescued from a flooded canal, paws bleeding from frantic attempts to claw his way out.
