SPCA is NOT the only animal welfare organisation

Allow me to bring to your attention that the SPCA is not the only animal welfare organisation in Singapore.

In fact, it is a not-for-profit one.

In Singapore, the AVA has a division called the

"ANIMAL WELFARE AND CONTROL DIVISION".

As the name suggests, we do have a govt. body that can do something about animal welfare.

The spate of cat abuses is a social ill that should be rectified by our govt. And who to better control and remedy this malady but the Animal Welfare & Control Division?

The responsibility to solve the cat abuse cases and upkeep with social standards thus lies heavily on the AVA.

If we can effectively control a localized global epidemic such as SARS that subverts even our private spaces, I don't see how "unachievable" it is to rectify/moderate/control the cat abuse cases (or any other animal welfare-related issues, for that matter)."
