Frustrations increase against AVA as Tampines wildcats continue to be brutally mutilated by wild dogs

The streets of Tampines are no longer safe for the cats of his community of residents. A group of about 11 wild dogs have roamed the district for several months now, hunting and walking their felines for sporting purposes.

The wardens of the neighborhood's big cats are probably heartbroken by the brutal death of more than 10 cats and are fighting to prevent dogs from being killed again. Even for non-cat lovers, the sight of dead bodies of mutilated and bloody animals would be a painful sight in residential areas.

Nevertheless, the problem of stray dogs remains a problem. The pack of dogs has become even more daring now, wandering around Sunplaza Park during the day, without fear of humans.

"We ask for action"

Exhausted and stressed by the problem, which has not been solved, Facebook's user, Nickolas KS Lim, sent a moving letter to AVA, urging the authorities to fix it. A district official in the People's Association ministry said the man regretted that the AVA was not taking the issue seriously, despite the huge efforts and sums invested by good Samaritans.

"For you, AVA, it is only one case, but for many people, these cats are friends / families. The children say hello to them, wave to them, sit with them and hang out with them, "Lim wrote. "Every night, you do not react and you do not answer: we examine the question" and you sleep in an air-conditioned room. ALL cats with whom we live so happily are in mortal danger. "

"If you go through ALL the photos you've probably received, you'll know they're just bitten and jittery like ragdolls. There have been sightings of other dogs being chased by this pack as well. When will we do something? When someone's kid is attacked? What do we teach society? That the life of a cat or that of another dog is worth less than a human being? Remember that they probably did less harm than you and I in our lives. "
