A reader shares her thoughts on the bull terrier case:

Wishing you a very Happy Mothers Day. Your work in helping animals through AnimalCare is akin Mother Theresa helping the destitute and unwanted in the slums of India. You are the Mother Theresa to abandoned and unwanted animals. Another note; Baggy is your [...]

Speaking up for the animals in the factory farms

Here’s a sharing from Kim Pin, who has recently read my book, Do We have a Choice:

Dear Dr.Chan,

Hi, I’m Kim Pin, a friend of Soi Chee’s. I believe I’ve caught a glimpse of you at the charity concert on 22/4. Soi Chee has been very enthusiastically promoting the animalcare t-shirts and recently, your [...]

The case of the Bull Terrier and the unfortunate death of an elderly jogger

I have not written anything about this case ever since I heard about it on the morning of 8th May when it happened because I did not know enough information to pass any comment.

There were also too many uncertainties in this case as there were no eye-witnesses to relate what happened before the dog [...]

Well, of course we have a choice! (a sharing from a vegan)

Here’s a sharing from a lady by the name of Carole who happened to pick up one of my books, “Do We Have a Choice”:

Dear Kah Yein

I get a copy of your book from SS18 Medifoods organic shop at Subang Jaya.  I wish  to know how to donate towards printing more books for [...]

Why we are a no-kill medical fund

Ref: http://myanimalcare.org/2012/04/27/sweetheart-is-this-what-you-would-have-wanted-a-reflection-on-euthanasia/

A reader seems very upset (please see comments in post above) and she is of the opinion that we are condemning people who opt for euthanasia for their pets or rescues and that we are saying that it is wrong.

Let me clarify here, and this is our official stand, that we are promoting [...]

“Sweetheart, is this what you would have wanted?” – a reflection on euthanasia

Ref: http://myanimalcare.org/2012/04/26/can-we-neuter-our-way-out-of-killing/

Remember yesterday’s article which I posted (link above) about rehoming being more important than neutering and urging shelters to be no-kill ones?

I sent the article to two shelter managers and I did not receive a straight-off “No” from them. Rather, one replied saying their shelter is working towards no-kill. The other said theirs [...]

Can we neuter our way out of killing?

Huey shared this: http://www.nathanwinograd.com/?p=9022

I think it’s really, really good food for thought.

The gist of it is that the author questions if neutering is THE best way to control overpopulation and he thinks it is NOT.

He thinks it should start with having no-kill shelters.

There must be no-kill shelters first, and then, there has [...]

Two more cases today, and how many more every day?

My phone has not stopped ringing the whole afternoon. Besides coordinating Meiji’s dogfood delivery, handling a few tshirt purchases and Misai Kucing orders (yes, we are taking orders for the Misai Kucing drink as well – proceeds go to our Fund), there were two more cases which we could not help, and that’s when I’d [...]
