Stop. Do seriously give this a thought. And do support these prevention of animal cruelty organizations:
OR, simply visit SSPCA (The Sarawak Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) at 6 1/2 mile here, in Kuching, or visit their site (http://www1.sarawak.com.my/org/sspca/index.html)
What each of you do can really save some animals from extinction. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts.
