SPCA's World Animal Day - 'Paws at the Beach'

It was World Animal Day on 10th October and there was a celebration at East Coast Park 'Paws at the Beach"! The Harley Davidson groups were invited to take part in this animal charity event. We made a grand convoy down to ECP followed by a $5/per ride charity event.

Please adopt instead of buying. The dogs in puppy mills are really suffering. :(





There were about 4 to 5 puppies that Action for Singapore Dogs (ASD) brought down for the event and put up for adoption. This little fellow won my heart. ♥





More information about puppy mills. Please help to stop the dogs' suffering!

What are puppy mills?
A puppy mill is a commercial dog breeding operation where puppiers are mass produced with profit being the main goal. Cases highlighted in the media in 2010 revealed the deplorable and substandard conditions in which many dogs were kept; as a result some of the animals died from sickness and neglect, while many others suffered immeasurably, having been deprived of proper nutrition, medical attention, companionship and socialisation.

Poor breeding practices can also result in puppies with genetic flaws and physical abnormalities, which are not always evident at the time of purchase.

Consumer demand for purebred puppies and "designer" puppiers (e.g. labradoodles) are the main reason that the industry thrives today.

When you buy that cute puppy in the pet shop window, you could be adding to the problem. Stop this cycle of cruelty. Adopt or buy from a reputable breeder.
