Some Insight from BAWA Bali- to SPCA

For the past 5 months, i was stationed in Bali, Indonesia. Yes, a paradise for all... this little goddest island is a total distinct to any other part of Indonesia. In Bali, i

was engaged with BAWA.. following their movement and activities, and involve in

some of their awareness campaign.

BAWA Bali- stands for Bali Animal Welfare Association .BAWA, The Bali Animal Welfare Association is a not-for-profit organization registered in Bali, Indonesia and is dedicated to improving the lives of animals.BAWA's mission is to relieve suffering and overpopulation by providing medical care, spay and neutering, street-feeding and adoption, and by educating children and adults in animal welfare.

It is founded by BAWA was founded by Janice Girardi, an American resident in Bali for over

30 years, and leading Indonesian veterinarian Dr Dewa Made Dharma. This organization has somewhat impress me with their impact on an island like Bali. They have not only reached out the

locals citizens but also to the Australian community, tourist as well as visitors all over the world.

BAWA is located at Forest Monkey, Ubud. It is very much like in TUARAN from Kota Kinabalu Town, People who visited UBUD will definitely aware of the signboard as well as indication of BAWA LOGO around. Their awareness impact is high, they are like little reminder to you when visiting

UBUD...

In Sabah, we have animal rescue too, even well known world wide called SPCA.Check their website :

http://www.spcakk.org/

however, for a small population like Sabah (2.2billion) comparing to Bali (3.1bill) with an estimate about 30,000 ( expatriate), i strongly believe that there will be a w

ay for us to reach an utmost impact to the society on animal cruelty.Perh

aps starts with a mindful set for the Animal lovers..

EAT.SPAY.LOVE

Is one of the slogan used by BAWA. It gives a lot of impact and directly deliver message to the target audiences. Various sector, provide necessary support, Authorities, NGO, Public and even politicians, contribute their bits to the success of BAWA.

When an Island with RABBIES like BALI can do it, Why not us in Sabah..

First and foremost, love your pet...

"Spayed you pet, its good thing"

Society For The Prevention Of Cruelty To Animals ( SPCA)

SPCA is non profit organization that helps to prevent the increasing numbers of abandoned,unwanted of dogs and cats and the cruelty towards animals. They are an animal welfare organization whose operations is include protecting and providing shelter to animals in danger.and help them to get adopted.

The Sabah SPCA, is founded 3 years ago and they are striving through to spread the responsible pet ownership awareness throughout the state. Despite the effort of recruiting new members and volunteers, they also run pet adoption programme and lobbying the government towards more effective legistlation and human enforcemant.

As part of a layman role in promoting the responsible pet ownership awarenes, i am contributing my thought towards my friends and blog readers here.... It doesn matter if you have a kampung dog, mix breed or a pure breed high end pet... A basic dog care requirement is necessary for any pet owners to know:-

1. An annual dog license in accordance with dovernment regulations.
(DBKK office to obtain form)

2. Annual Vaccination which covers 7 canine diseases-distemper,leptospirosis,canine hepatitis,
Parvo virus, canine adeno virus type II, para influenza and corona virus. Regular de worm
also recommended.

3. Dogs that kep outdoor, or spend a lot of their time outdoors should be placed on preventative
heatworm medication.

4. Veterinary care schedule

5. Trainning and exercising your dog, wether by yourself or a professional, will involve time or
money or both.

6. Providing a balance diet for your dog.

7. Making the necessary arrangements for your dog's needs if you go away on vacation.

8. To spayed or neutered for the well being of your dogs health, if there is no
intention for breeding.

This is what i want to emphasize here today, to spayed your dog to prevent mass re production purposes of unwanted dogs. Please support SPCA KK of their effort on Spaying campaign on the 4th-11 Oct 2009, free counselling and advice,Responsible Pet ownership, spaying and neutering.
They will be locating at Atrium of Citymall on the 4th Oct 09, and at Gaya Street Sunday Market on the 11th Oct 09...
