Re: [Toy] Selayang Baru Anti-Dogs Association

Sure I believe there could be 6000 signatures but I sincerely doubt if all the 6,000 signatures belong to RESIDENTS of Selayang Baru. After all, all because it's called the Selayang Baru Anti-Dog Association, there is no proof that only Selayang Baru residents signed the petition. I also doubt if it is a legally registered entity. We can create a thread in this forum and call it the Anti-Selayang Baru Anti-Dog Association. It's got the word "Association" in the title but all because we call it that doesn't make it an association in the legal sense of the word.
I believe that the Selayang Baru Anti-Dog Association is just a group of anti-dog idiots who got together to make noise about dog ownership and to make themselves sound more authoritative, called themselves an association. But let us not underestimate the potential of a group like that to cause problems for dog owners. We don't need to panic but we need to keep ourselves informed about our legal rights and support animal welfare groups like the SPCA and PAWS because they are our strongest voice. If you are able to, go to the Paws with a Cause Day and make your support felt.
Finally, there may be 6,000 people willing to sign a petition against dogs but there are several tens of thousands more who may not be dog lovers but are not dog-haters either. We need to get the support of the "Fence Sitters". The easiest way to do so is to be responsible dog owners. Act with consideration towards those who are not familiar with dogs. If their experiences with dogs are not unpleasant, they will have less reason to be unpleasant to dogs.
