We the undersign would appreciate it if the City Council of Penang would take into consideration to humanely euthanize and not shoot the stray animals and also to collaborate with local animal shelters to give the strays a possible chance of being rehomed.

Just adding my voice from the other side of the world to call for a stop to this cruelty. It doesn't happen in civilised and humane countries - think about the animals.

I personally think that NOBODY HAS THE RIGHTS TO KILL. Do not play GOD and decide on the lives of innocent creatures. If you think you have the rights to live... so do the animals. Stop the KILLING and think of a solution!

Shooting stray dogs on the spot is just inhuman. If they are causing a nuisance, then please bring them back to the pound and give them a chance to be adopted. My personal experience some years ago was traumatic. There was a homeless puppy that I had slowly won my heart. I was seriously considering adopting it and then one evening it was gone. My husband and I called all the various organizations and was assured no such exercise was carried out at my area and that they don't shoot dogs on the spot. But my neighbors confirmed that they shot the poor puppy on the spot along with several other dogs. Please ensure human practices is enforced and that trigger happy personnel who gets a thrill from killing is removed from your workforce. Thank you

We human beings are the only creatures in this world to have the ability to show empathy. To empathise with and not to kill, that makes us supreme. Have mercy on the poor souls.

Killing in any form should be condemned/discouraged, more so to animals that cannot speak out nor protect themselves. Dogs are the best of companions, always loyal, supportive, helpful,dependable and give much love to humans unconditionally. So LOVE them not KILL them.

In hopes that we have a more caring society, please have mercy on our four legged friends who are innocent. They have done nothing wrong but try to live in the world that humans have created for them - by having people who are irresponsible and abandoning their pets. Please please have a heart.

Dogs, like cats, are the most loving and loyal animals to human beings since the begining of times and its without any conditions.They forgives us so easily for the cruelty we dish out to them.Just by loving them again by feeding and patting them on their heads..they will forgive and love you again with conditions. Are we that blind to their LOVE???.

We humans have no authority for this madness, stepping on these animals just because they EXIST! Just as people want to be respected, animals deserve it as well.

It is important to control stray dog population especially those looking sick n pathetic without any owners. BUT there are many other ways to put them down decently NOT by shooting them. It's a very cruel way to see them die. It is not instant death mind you.

surely this is just another form of animal cruelty, and the people responsible for it should be made to face their wrong doing, after a recent trip to penang i was alarmed at the lack of respect animals in this country receive, not just dogs, starved horses with bones pertruding from every angle are walked up and down the beach for money all day long these pigs who abuse animals should be jailed.

Please consider other options instead of this cruel mass killing. Educating your residents about the importance of spaying/neutering would prove to be more beneficial in the long run.

every living entities have the rights to stay on this planet, btw they way they are not STRAY, they are animals, just because they don have 4 walls and a door, that doesn't mean they do not enjoy their freedom to be anywhere. Human hearts and mind are the major problems in this matter. Please consider purifying one's heart and go vegan for a change in order achieves peace and happiness for all living entities.
