#ExecuteAWA recently met with YB Tuan Lee @cheanchung, Member of Parliament for Petaling Jaya, together with New Life Animal Shelter and leading animal welfare experts, including @choodeewei, President of Counsel of Claws, and Dr Tuan Haji Faizal, National Lead for Humane & Islamic Animal Welfare Education, to discuss systemic gaps, enforcement challenges, and humane pathways forward under the national preventive framework for stray population management, #ProjekTogetherBoleh through TNVRM 💪🏻
⚠️ The discussion emphasised the need to move beyond fragmented and reactive responses, as persistent stray mismanagement by local councils continues to undermine animal welfare efforts across Malaysia 💔
Trap, Neuter, Vaccinate, Release, and Monitor is a science-based, humane approach that addresses overpopulation at its root, strengthens public health safeguards, and supports long-term coexistence between communities and animals 🤝🏻
We appreciate YB Lee’s openness to these evidence-driven discussions and his continued advocacy for stronger animal welfare governance, accountability, and the meaningful execution of TNVRM 🙏🏻
🌟 As we move into the new year, we call on the government to adopt a humane and sustainable approach to managing the stray population as a key agenda, ensuring long-term protection for animals and communities alike 🌈
