KLANG: Selangor Ruler Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah and the Tengku Permaisuri Selangor Tengku Permaisuri Norashikin have told the people not to overlook their responsibility to protect stray animals, especially cats and dogs.
"Their Highnesses are both upset and sad that there are individuals and certain parties that inflict cruelty upon these animals intentionally as opposed to knowing how to best protect them, especially during the movement control order," said a statement issued by Istana Alam Shah here Saturday (Jan 23).
The statement added Sultan Sharafuddin's decree emphasised the importance for everyone to show compassion towards stray animals.
The Ruler also stressed it was a collective responsibility to give them food even if they were in their natural habitat.
