If based on these, we're not close to being civilized at all. I read that how you treat your animal showed how civilized a country is... Just look at the case in DBKL Setapak featured in 360, aired last wednesday. The dog was stranggled and the cats were drowned to death. Thats the most inhuman way to dispose of strays... seriously, shame on you. Dahlah our politic sucks... even the animals suffer living in this country :(

There will be a peaceful gathering at the DBKL pound in Setapak THIS WEEKEND to protest against this case.
