Something that bugs me a lot. To swerve or not to swerve to avoid hitting an animal if it suddenly darts out onto the road infront of you. In Singapore's context, usually a dog, cat, sambar deer, monkeys? What else? Our natural instinct would be to swerve right? I'm an animal lover and instinctively, I would as well. But is that really the right thing to do? There's so many factors to consider, road condition, any cars near me, will the car behind me be able to stop safely? But fact is we don't have the luxury of time to analyze. What are the consequence of swerving to avoid hitting an animal? You place your passengers at risk, most will react by swerving left or right, you may end up hitting a barrier, a tree, you may take a car or two along with you, or even a motorcycle with a pillion, you may end up causing a chain collision. Worst still, you may end up mounting the curb and taking a bystander on the pavement along with you (if it's on small roads). What if you suddenly e-brake? You may cause a horrific rear collision if the car behind you is unable to react in time. What happens then if you hit the animal head on? You end up feeling guilty for killing an animal, you'll end up paying for your broken bumper/fender or other repairs. But hopefully the impact ends there. Importantly what we should do is to maintain a proper following distance, be attentive on the road and react properly on the road. Unless, you are dead sure of the road and traffic condition around you (no cars, no bikes, no pedestrians), don't swerve. Not saying that animals lives ain't important but just saying don't jeopardize the lives of others while trying to save that dog, cat or squirrel. And dog owners, please keep your pets leashed. No use crying if you don't leash your pets and then it ends up a road kill. The only fault of the driver then would be if he hits and then run.

Kudos to the authority to bring the offenders to court. 👍 Serve him right for participating in such inhumane acts. https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/man-filmed-cousin-abusing-poodle-fined-torture-15179860 SINGAPORE: A man who filmed his cousin torturing a poodle and did not stop him was fined S$4,500 by a court on Thursday (Jul 8). Chia Yong-Quan, 38, was also banned from owning any animal for a year. He pleaded guilty to one count under the Animals and Birds Act of wantonly omitting to stop his cousin from cruelly torturing his dog. Yong-Quan filmed two videos of this abuse. He not only failed to stop Clement from torturing the dog, but helped to record the process. The offences came to light only three to four years later in July 2020, when six videos of Clement torturing the poodle - including the two clips by Yong-Quan - were shared by many users on Facebook. Many people were alarmed to see the videos and alerted the authorities about the abuse. The prosecutor asked for a fine of between S$4,000 and S$6,000 for Yong-Quan and for a one-year ban from owning any pet, the maximum under the law. Yong-Quan could have been jailed up to 18 months, fined up to S$15,000, or both for wantonly omitting to stop a person cruelly torturing an animal.- 16 replies

Anyone heard or approached a Animal Communicator to communicate with your dog before? I have heard of SG animal rescue groups getting AC to ask missing dogs abt their well being Following comments from a dog fb group a little back story here the reason for asking is my wife has been asking to get an animal communicator for our little dachshund suffering from acute kidney failure about a month plus since onset. countless visits to the vet she is lethargic and breathing heavily most of the time vet says condition is stable but no improvements for her blood test (BUN level) she is home now and we have to learn to administer subcutaneous injection twice a day it is extremely stressful for my dach as well as for us because she refuse to eat her meals and meal times becomes a fight and a struggle. they can be stubborn force feeding takes about 45 mins. that actually means 1 hour of unhappiness for her 2 times a day since the onset of acute renal failure everything has been going down hill for our little girl. we are also truly aware that many fail to recover from renal failure even if its acute and not chronic Wife hope to find out from AC how is our girl feeling, is she still coping, is she tired? is she fighting just because she doesn't want mama and papa to feel sad? we also want her to tell us if she's truly tired please tell mama and papa, we don't want her to be suffering i'm skeptical when it comes to this (AC = psychic? unbelievable) hence don't wish to post on fb (wife can see and don't want to hurt her feelings). this is a car forum but i'm trying my luck here. will be good if anyone has firsthand experience or heard of something like this and let me know if it truly works or just a scam or a "feel good" for ourselves that we've done it right for our fur pals thank you

Yahoo News :Couple caught on video abusing kitten A netizen has captured on video a couple abusing a kitten by dipping it repeatedly in a puddle of dirty water before throwing it around. According to chinaSMACK, the incident happened in Tongzhou district in Beijing, China on 19 July. In the video, a woman who looks to be in her pyjamas with a messy hair bun appears to be squatting beside a puddle of water. Zooming in, the woman is seen holding a kitten's tail, and pulling it back to her when the kitten tries to move away. The woman dips the kitten in the puddle of water head first repeatedly and refuses to let the kitten go. At the 0:57 mark, a man in pink is seen in the video. He participates in the act later by tossing the cat to the woman. Throughout the video, a bigger-sized cat tries to go to the kitten to pick the kitten up but was shooed away by the woman. The entire cat abuse episode lasted for about 30 minutes and it ended when the kitten was thrown into an underground basement by the couple. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vQyK5xKgYY...player_embedded This sick PRC abuser should be recarnated into kitten in their next life........

We are community caregivers of dogs and cats for the past 10 years between us. Looking after the strays at Industrial and Housing estate. We are also a resgistered society, (Society for the Care of Community Cats and Dogs). About 5 months ago, we took over ownership of a kennel from an old man who hasn't been looking after his dogs properly. A sponsor has promised help, but for the past three months we have been taking from our savings and paying for the kennel ourselves and we are no longer able to do so. The sponsor has since told us straight out, that no help will be given. Some of the dogs were puppies found in a box, thrown away like rubbish on the roadside, then others were entrusted in our care and the owners just dissapeared. The pet farm is chasing us for the last two months board fees ($6850 URGENT!) and current month ($3425) and all 18 dogs are will be evicted if board fees are not paid. There are no where for them to go. We need urgent help for the following: 1. Payment of owed boarding fees: To pay at least 2 months board of $6850 by Monday!! 2. Spaying of all dogs: Est $200 each, more if its a female 3. Sponsorship of Pet food: $39 per bag, 7 needed a month, $33 per ctn wet food, 3 ctn needed a month All donations will be recorded and emailed to sponsors if require. If you are able to help, please contact viki at 9397 8890. Sms or call. She doesn't have regular net access. If you would like to adopt any of the dogs, they have all been dewormed, deflead, and deticked as well. For viewing, you can contact the number above as well. Thank you. I hope I can save all of them. Kind Regards, Viki 9397 8890 Link

http://news.asiaone.com/News/Latest%2BNews...122-102614.html BEIJING, Nov 22 (Reuters) - A panda at a zoo in southern China attacked a student who snuck into its pen hoping for a cuddle with the endangered bear, state media said on Saturday. The 20-year-old male student surnamed Liu jumped over the fence at the zoo in the tourist city of Guilin, ignoring warning signs not to, Xinhua news agency said. "The panda, named Yangyang, was wide awake. Apparently scared by the intruder, he bit at Liu's arms and legs," it quoted an unnamed worker as saying after zoo keepers managed to calm the bear and rescue Liu, the report said. "Yangyang was so cute and I just wanted to cuddle him," Liu was quoted as saying from his hospital bed. "I didn't expect he would attack." Scientists believe fewer than 2,000 giant pandas live in the wild in China

Animal abandonment is a crime in some countries but not in Singapore. My sis's car cam captured a video of a lady abandoning a white rabbit along Lor Pasu, this place is full of stray dogs during the night. Apparently, the owner has picked the worst place in Singapore to abandon her rabbit. A irresponsible pet owner. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vw8TQcSdk9g

Tan Kin Lian / Columnist Are we seeing a modern Animal Farm happening in Singapore, where corruption and propaganda are used to control the populace? ANIMAL Farm is a novel written by George Orwell in 1945. I studied this book for Literature when I was in Secondary Two. It is a satire, depicting events in Russia leading up to and during the Stalin era before World War II. The animals of Animal Farm threw out the owner Mr. Jones and took over the farm, depicting the overthrow of the Czar of Russia during the Russian Revolution in 1917. The animals, representing the people, looked forward to a better life under a new leadership. Their leaders were the Pigs, and Napolean was the supreme leader. He ruled Animal Farm initially with the support of the animals, but later kept his power through all means, including propaganda, lies and the use of terror. Two memorable parts of the book were the Seven Commandments and how they became distorted and the story of the loyal horse Boxer. Seven Commandments The original seven commandments of Animal Farm were written to reflect equality of the animals, ethical behaviour and the search for a better life: Whatever goes upon two legs enemy Whatever goes upon four legs or has wings is a friend, No animal shall wear clothes. No animal shall sleep in a bed. No animal shall drink alcohol. No animal shall kill any other animal. All animals are equal. Corruption Later Napoleon and the Pigs (elites) were corrupted by the absolute power they held over the farm. To maintain their popularity with the other animals, they secretly painted additions to some commandments to benefit the pigs while keeping them free of accusation of breaking the laws. The Pigs manage to get away with this because only Benjamin the donkey and Muriel the goat can read to any effective degree, but they were not willing to challenge the pigs. The commandments were changed to accommodate the desire of the leader for a life of luxury and wealth, while ignoring the lot of the other animals. No animal shall sleep in a bed with sheets. No animal shall drink alcohol to excess. Four legs good, two legs better! No animal shall kill another animal without cause. All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others. Boxer I felt strongly attached to the horse Boxer. He was the symbol of the working class: loyal, kind, dedicated and respectful. He was physically the strongest animal on the farm, but na

I sincerely hope this is a hoax. The latest craze in China is selling little plastic key chains with live animals like fishes sealed in them. STOMPer freewilly thinks that this is inhumane and qualifies as animal abuse. The STOMPer says: "These key chains are sold at train stations. "The water in the key chain supposedly contains 'nutrients' that will keep the animals alive for a month or longer. "There's a rumour going around that after the animals die, the carcass is heated up in the microwave for 15 seconds and is enjoyed with an ice cold beer. "These people selling the key chains are not in the right mind."

http://beta.sg.news.yahoo.com/elephant-sex...042319-187.html AHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAA... It had sex with a Passat.. HHAHAHAHAHA ..London, Feb 26 (ANI): An elephant left the passengers of a car with a jumbo-sized problem when he mistook the vehicle for a mate and started having sex. The randy elephant got on with the tusk and went bumper to bumper with the saloon car before tyring of the chase and rolling the vehicle on to its back into the bushes. Irishman John Somer and terrified friend Carina Lowers were driving the Volkswagen Passat through the Pilanesberg Game Reserve in South Africa when they came across the five-ton bull, called Amarula. "I never thought I would be killed by an elephant. When I turned the corner there was another vehicle in the road in front of us. The driver started reversing and stopped next to us. I'm Irish and he was speaking Afrikaans, but I could make out the word 'elephant'," the Sun quoted Somer who lives in nearby Rustenburg, as saying. John was unable to back up out of a ditch so turned the engine off hoping to avoid Amarula's attention. But the elephant came straight for them and began rubbing up against the car. "It really did seem to regard the car as a female elephant and was making advances on 'her'. When the bull started flipping the car over my life literally started flashing before my eyes. "The car landed on its roof and we were lying inside it. Carina was very scared and wanted to crawl out but first I wanted to see where the elephant was. When we saw it was walking away we crawled out through the window," he said. Fellow nature lover Riaan van Wyk managed to catch the incredible scenes on camera. He said: "Amarula is one of the largest bull elephants in the reserve. To make a bad situation worse, he was in musth - a dangerous time where bull elephants become randy, aggressive and pumped full of hormones. "As Amarula made his way closer to the VW Passat I sat quietly in a nearby car. Realising what was about to unfold I nervously grabbed my camera," said Wyk. "Amarula then proceeded to focus his attention on me and only after a 15 minute chase did he finally lose interest and wander off into the bushes," he added. (ANI) ... Lols..

McDonald's takes the charm out of Doraemon series MCDONALD'S started a Doraemon lucky charm series recently with each lucky charm sold at $2 if one orders a set meal. My two-year-old daughter is a Doraemon fan and can sing the song whenever she sees the cartoon cat. Thinking of getting four Doraemon lucky charms representing the Chinese zodiac signs of my family - Tiger, Rabbit, Pig and Ox - I visited the McDonald's outlet in Tampines Mall on Monday. The idea was to display them during Chinese New Year. After I bought the Tiger and Rabbit lucky charms, I scanned the series and realised one animal was missing from the 12 signs - the Pig. Instead, McDonald's had a Cupid Doraemon. I could understand why Cupid was there as the first day of Chinese New Year happens to be Valentine's Day. But why should the Pig be missing from the series since all other 11 animals (even the mythical dragon) are included? Puzzled, I asked the counter staff. The answer surprised me even more: As a halal restaurant, McDonald's could not display or sell Pig soft toys. I understand that we need to respect our Muslim citizens as Singapore is a multiracial and multicultural society. Halal food establishments must meet the criteria set by the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (Muis) to be certified as such. I also understand why some restaurants do not allow dogs on their premises as it may offend Muslim diners. I have Muslim friends and when I invite them for a meal, I make sure I have a halal food option. If I dine with them, I avoid ordering pork dishes too. However, in this case, the Pig is one of the Chinese zodiac signs - part of Chinese culture and customs - and it is just a soft toy, not food. Will the sight of a Doraemon collectible Pig soft toy offend anyone? Was the decision based on a recommendation from Muis? I have given up collecting the lucky charms because my girl was born in the Year of the Pig and she has no 'luck' in getting her Doraemon charm. Pauline Koh (Ms)

20th Jul 09, was driving from PIE to CTE AMK, saw a white cat lying motionless in a pool of blood, it is in the middle of two lanes, along the white striped lines...was a really a sad scene when i saw it, dunno how long it was there.. and tonight, i saw another animal, not sure if it is a cat because it was dark, lying motionless in a pool of blood at SLE Lentor Exit, this time round, saw a red honda stream i think, stopped a few metres in front, at the traffic light with the hazard lights on, the driver and his passenger came down the car as i drove past them.. i'm not sure if they are the culprit, but i hope if they are going to look at the animal, hope that it could still be saved.. haiz..it makes me wonder, what will fellow drivers do when: an animal dash out of the road during an expressway exit or just on normal road? Jam brake? but what if there are cars behind you? p.s mod, if i have post this in the wrong section, please kindly move it, thanks.

Teen rapes older sister on release from boys' home Fri, Sep 07, 2007 The Straits Times On a Sunday he was allowed to go home fom the Singapore Boys' Home last September, a teenager raped his older sister when he got back. The 16-year-old pleaded guilty in the High Court today but the case was adjourned for an independent psychiatric assessment. His lawyers felt that he could be emotionally scarred as he had been sodomised by an elder brother, who also raped the same sister in 2002. His brother, now 20, is serving sentence. The court earlier heard that a psychiatrist at the Institute of Mental Health (IMH) had found the sister, who is two years older, to be mildly retarded with an IQ of 64, lower than the normal 90 -100. She was raped in her bedroom of their four-room HDB flat at 4.20pm while the mother was sleeping in the master bedroom and an 11-year-old brother, who is also mentally retarded, was in the living room. The offender then returned to the Boys' Home with his mother. The raped sister decided to tell an uncle living nearby. The uncle called the mother and told her but her son bolted as they were approaching the uncle's flat. He was arrested five days later. He had been placed in the Boys' Home for two years for committing robbery with some friends in April 2005, while on probation for burglary, receiving stolen property and inhalant abuse. An IMH psychiatrist found him to be beyond parental control and without the capacity and motivation to change for the better. None of them can be named to protect the identity of the victim.
