Isn’t it cruel to keep Huskies as pets in hot and humid countries like Singapore ?
Mr Owen Sim, 40, and his wife, Ivy Ann, 38, breed show-quality huskies. They insist their customers sign a contract agreeing not to breed the dogs. — ST PHOTO: KEVIN LEONG
The above excerpt is taken from a Straits Times article, dated Oct 13, 2008. My first question is: Isn’t it INTOLERABLY hot for a poor husky and cruel to encourage would-be pet owners to keep furry dogs like huskies (meant for the freezing cold climates like Alaska) in hot and humid Singapore where temperatures soar to 34 degrees celsius (94 degrees Fahrenheit) plus sunshine and humidity ?!
Read what happened in a case in Singapore here . Please contact the dog-breeders featured above at Visit their website: www.bestfriends.com.sg , email address: owen@starhub.net.sg to explain to them and ask them to stop the breeding of huskies. Poor huskies ! It’s like making a human to live inside a heated furnace all his life.
