https://www.channelnewsasia.com/asia/hong-kong-orders-hamster-cull-after-covid-19-hits-pets-2442871 The outbreak of Delta variant cases in humans linked to the shop worker prompted tests on hundreds of animals, with 11 hamsters showing up positive. That has brought a pet rodent clampdown on Chinese-ruled Hong Kong, which is following the mainland's zero-tolerance approach to COVID-19 even as much of the world shifts to living with it. The territory's Health Secretary Sophia Chan stressed at a news conference that there was no evidence domestic animals can pass the disease to humans, but authorities were anyway acting out of caution to ban imports and sales of pet rodents. Still living in the shadows of COVID-19, are we? Maybe we should start culling humans since we are the ones transmitting the virus. RIP my furry friends! Insert two cute hamsters below. ☹️

Recently a mass culling of stray dogs in Seremban create some hoo-ha in Malaysia and caught quite a fair bit of attention. Here is the link. https://www.worldofbuzz.com/viral-photos-of-stray-dogs-being-euthanised-publicly-seremban-send-msians-into-outrage/ Lets share some views on what do you think of such acts by the gov given that there is news of rabies in 3 states in Malaysia. What about the shooting of crows here? Mad cow disease and bird flu saw thousands of these animals put to sleep? Is it cruel to do this? Or sld there be other ways to control the situation? I think dog lovers are going to be firing at full power.. But I think it is more than dogs only..
