Post CNY Thoughts

Hours of debaunched drinking, days of gluttony and am back in reality so out the pensive comes again. People have a filing system but I have a blog to track what I am doing and keep tabs on myself. Lol. Well some order is better than no order I guess. In fact am toying with the idea of moving the blog to a site that is easier to handle cuz am such a spaz when it comes to techie stuff.

Ranch in Malacca - Have written up a draft letter outlining what I think is wrong with the place and am going to put in a recommended feeding program for them to follow. Will follow up this case in a month's time.
Ranch A in Sabah - Two weeks' time is UP. Am trying to get hold of the DVS to see how they are going to move on from here. So far no phone pick up but its only morning and after a long holiday. We have heard a rumour that they are going to put down all the horses but so far have been unable to ascertain whether its true or not. If they do or if they salvage some we are still going to push for prosecution so watch this stop for further news! Still trying to locate where the other possible farm could be in Sabah!
Riding School in Frasers' Hill - We have yet to go there but did receive a report from an indy source that two of the four horses were in healthy condition although they were unable to see the other two horses. At some point we will need to verify everything but at present the situation does not seem urgent.

Hi,

First of all, I think it is fantastic that you are highlighting these cases of neglect and abuse in Malaysia. It is about time that they do get the attention they deserve.

My only concern with this specific post is that you chose to publish a source that did not manage to look at the horses in the stalls at the Frasier's Hill ranch. Yet, you published his speculations on their possibly deplorable conditions, which I personally feel, is rather irresponsible. As a representative of SPCA Equine Welfare organisation, your views would have weight. It might be best that you get visual and specific confirmations before publishing them on this website.

Other than that, thank you for keeping us informed on what is happening at these places.

Best regards,
Najmin
