Raeesah Khan, a Workers’ Party MP for Sengkang Group Representation Constituency , said she would like to see more stringent laws, such as harsher penalties, that will discourage the unethical “backyard” breeding of animals. Responding to a question raised by Project Adopt Live host Jo Tan on Sunday about what issues concerning pets or animals in Singapore will be discussed in Parliament, Ng said he hopes to look into the possibility of making it illegal to either declaw a cat or debark a dog — that is removing the dog’s vocal cords.
Ng also intends to continue pushing for the legalisation of cats in HDB flats. He has raised this issue multiple times in Parliament, and even questioned the point of having a ban on felines if it is not actively enforced. Raeesah said yesterday that she also hopes to speak to people who buy pets to understand their motivations, and see how the narrative can be changed into one of adoption instead of purchase.
“They are really affectionate,” Raeesah said. “During my pregnancy, they were all around me, sitting on my tummy, purring. So I don’t see that justification.”Citing his experience as the owner of a rescued pomeranian with deformed hind legs, he said it has little issue interacting with other animals and humans.
Beautiful cat
