Extreme pet prohibition method.

From Strait Time letters today:
I refer to the letter 'Ruling on cats in flats not fair to responsible owners' by Mr Jereme Ooi (Online Forum, Jan 22).
I do not agree with Mr Ooi's opinion. I feel that the HDB is fair and responsible in disallowing the keeping of cats in HDB flats.
Let us take a look at the problems created by dogs being bred in HDB flats to understand better the impact of allowing the keeping of cats in HDB flats.
1. Dirtying public property.
Many dog owners are irresponsible and allow their dogs to defecate and urinate everywhere including in the lifts, the void decks, the playground, the pavements and on the grass patch. To allow the keeping of cats will only compound the problem. Furthermore, cat faeces are much smaller than those of the dog, so more people are going to be unwittingly stepping onto it.
2. Noise.
Dogs living in HDB flats create a lot of noise, at all times of the day and night. Add cats to it, and the problem will get only worse. Imagine the loud noises created by cats fighting in the corridors.
3. Smell.
The keeping of cats in HDB flats will create a strong unpleasant odour. There is a reported case of a doctor advising a pregnant lady to stay indoors, with the windows shut tightly, to keep out the odour she could not tolerate.
4. Disease.
A dog bite can cause rabies, while a scratch from a cat can cause bleeding. Furthermore, the urine and faeces of cats can cause health problems.
5. Animal abuse.
We have seen many instances of animal abuse in The Straits Times. With cats living in HDB flats, this problem will only get worse.
I strongly urge HDB to maintain the ban on cats in public flats. In addition, I would urge HDB to also ban the keeping of dogs in public flats.
HDB flats are built for humans to stay in, not animals.

Isn't this guy sweet? NOT. -

Ban all animals. It's only fair.

I'll hang 9 cats to death this month, up from my usual monthly quota of 5.

poor cats.. stay at hdb will b chase away.. stay at spca will b put to sleep.. i think hdb r sending ppl to kill the cats..
-
if you stay in hdb flat and have a neighbour having cats, you will know whats so bad about them.
one of which is they pee at your doorstep. And you know the territory thingy,....they pee the same place even if you clean it away. -
yep poor cats
If i see my cats downstair kena abuse or kick
i simply confort them
I cant stand animal abuser -
This is a stupid letter
I have a dog who isn't noisy except when someone knocks on the door...
And my dog is disease and rabies free...
Anyone stepping on dog or cat shit deserves it. Why? LOOK WHERE U STEP!
My buddy has something to say to these pet haters

2. Humans create noise by loud karaoke singing, letting their kids run and shout in public places, etc. - let's ban them too.
3. Some humans stinks, has BO, don't wash hair, etc. - again, ban them.
4. Humans can spread flu, SARS, etc. diseases - ban, ban, ban?
5. Some humans abuse their kids or even rape them, so we shd ban them from re-marriage, and ban them from HDB.
In other words, anything that the rubbish Mr Peter Kuan don't like, just ban and wipe them away, instead of trying to resolve problems and live harmoniously. -

gather all the pet lovers and put this guy to shame
yes good things he left his full name
not that hard to trace where he stay -
1. Dirtying public property.
Many parents let their children litter and make their children pee everywhere. Worse, there is vandalism by children...
2. Noise.
Children scream and run everywhere. They're allowed to run around like little maniacs even in libraries and book shops.
3. Smell.
Babies poop and pee because they cannot control themselves. But what is worse is the parents who encourage their children to poop and pee everywhere in PUBLIC.
4. Disease.
Children have spread hand, foot and mouth disease. And more..
5. Animal abuse.
Children also have been abused by their parents..
SOOOOO... by the same argument, people should be banned from having children. -
It's sad to find such narrow minded and ignorant people in Singapore... Most of the things that Peter Kwan mentioned are actually the acts of irresponsible owners and stray animals... I used to have a cat before, and I find some of the "facts" mentioned by Peter Kuan ridiculous. (He obviously has no idea that a domesticated cat can be more well-behaved than himself.)
1. Dirtying public property.
Cats can easily be toilet-trained. If you put some cats' pee or poo on a tray of sand or a tray of newspaper, the cat will recognise the smell in the tray and it will go to the tray for all its toilet business. (That's how I trained my cat.)
2. Noise.
Cats are generally quieter than dogs. If you only keep one cat, everything is quiet, because the cat has nobody to fight with or mate with...
3. Smell.
Not all cats have odour. If you wash and groom your cat frequently, it will not smell. Even if a cat has a smell, the smell is just a matter of personal preference, like durian. (Is Peter Kwan going to write to HDB to ban durians just because some people hate durians?)
4. Disease.
Cat-owners have to be responsible for feeding proper food, cleaning their cat frequently, and taking their cat to the vet regularly to prevent the danger of diseases. When I had a cat, I also frequently trimmed the cat's claw.
5. Animal abuse.
There may be many case of animal abuse in the news, but for every abuse case I know, I know more cases of happy pets and happy pet-owners...
"Peter Kwan, you better watch out!" -
If the HDB allow dogs, then they should also allow cats. If HDB bans cats, they should also ban dogs. Neither animal should be discriminated against, neither should their owners. I have cats and dogs before, they are no different from each other.
