I was going through a dog forum from Malaysia today and I have found this news which I am totally disgusted.

I will cut and past the whole story here:-
Sin Chew Daily on 04.09.2007? (translation):
Title: Catch More Than 150 Dogs In 6 Months & Win More Than RM10000
1. Ceremony officiated by Dato Tang See Hang.
2. Majlis Perbandaran Selayang (MPS) receives more than 80 complaints about stray dogs. MPS and the residents decided to work together to catch the stray dogs. This is the first time a local council has had a competition to catch stray dogs. MPS says they managed to catch 200 dogs every month, but the problem is not solved.
3. Starts at 2pm today, every 6 months they will give out the prizes.
4. The winner will receive RM15000, if the resident manages 150 or more dogs in 6 months. First runner-up RM13000. Second runner-up RM11000.
5. If cannot catch 150 or more, you can still win RM2000. Every dog = RM20.
6. ONLY for Selayang residents.
7. You have to take the picture, and call MPS 03-61204853 / 012-2701614 to come and pick up the dog.
8. All the stray dogs will be kept in the pound for two weeks. If not claimed, they will be put to sleep.
9. Surf

-Edit- I am so mad I forgot to post that what kind of people will turn a dog catching/killing massacre into a competition???? What the heck!
