Well, most people who have been to or at least heard of Pulau Ketam may recognize it as one of the island located off the coast of Port Klang. Or maybe a fishing village where you could possibly get good and cheap seafood. Rite?
Unfortunately for Pulau Ketam residents, the story of your Crap Island may as well be rewritten which in that case, you're about to be called Crappy people too.
To start it off, these stray dogs stuck in that cage are about to get their free express tickets to Hell. Unfortunately, they're also accompanied by hundreds of other doggies and puppies to a mission called "Doggies' Worst Nightmare".
How worst can it be? About two weeks ago, 400 stray dogs have been "Cast Away" to an island by the Pulau Ketam residents without any source of food or shelter. They were basically just thrown there, like garbage.
The worst part is, because they had no food to survive with, and obviously they can't climb a tree to pluck some coconut like Tom Hanks did, some dogs ended up cannibalizing each other, hungrily feasting on the remains of other weaker dogs to survive. To put it in another word, dog eat dog.
With now over 200 dogs are dead, the SPCA and FFF (Furry Friends Farm) have been making their effort to rescue the remaining dogs on the island.
There appear to be a few Australian volunteering at FFF too!
Now you can lend a hand too!
SPCA and SAS are appealing to the public to contribute to their Pulau Ketam fund, to aid the emergency rescue and relief efforts over the next several weeks. Funds will be utilized to hire boats for transportation of the dogs, purchase dog food, medical supplies and cages. The start-up fund is RM1,300 – proceeds from a networking event SPCA organized last Sunday.
They also appreciate donations in kind – 3’ x 3’ multipurpose cages, dog biscuits and canned food, food and water bowls, towels, water storage containers, and flea/tick spray. All donated items can be sent to the SPCA Animal Shelter in Ampang Jaya.
It's also a click away!
