Rescuing The Remainders

The passed few days, we’d been thinking about Kuning. How anyone could claim to be an animal lover & yet covet the dog belonging to wonderful owners, a dog which also happen to be the only lure for the stray dogs on the island. I’d also been thinking about what we have achieved so far (or not) and what we have made do without. We have no major sponsors, no name, no corporate sponsorships, no patrons, no fantastic people with fancy titles too long to mention in our board, no connections in the higher places neither can we summon up free things at the snap of a finger or the drop of a few names but what we have is a group of sincere, truthful, honest & helpful people who understand the meaning of humanity.

We have volunteers who form the crux of what Furry Friends Farm is all about and these people do not want to put up with nonsense, acts of sabotage, publicity-hungry individuals who spit venom at us when we rise above the challenge, ignorant people who are oblivious to the truth behind the scenes.

Sabrina is an abandoned child herself. She has got little possessions. Her love & life are her dogs. Yet there are attempts to influence the landlord to evict her from her land, a preposterous act which is driven by people who plot for her to fail. While we tend to the rescue, there has been individuals who trespass on her land to release all the dogs from their play pens & the injured from their cages. Another act known only by its plotter. Now we have the abduction. You might think she’s a horrible person who made lots of enemies but why, are these acts so cowardly? Why has ONE individual managed to make so much difference to the lives of 80+ (now 100+) dogs in 3 years than a big ORG which has in 51 years with a force of many strong??? Why is she a threat to them? Her dedication to a cause that seem to be missing from the mainstream players??? Or her exemplary work that shouts even in silence???

If you have come here to find incriminatory remarks, you’ll find none. You would do better searching your heart for what’s right and what’s not. If your actions are beyond reproach, then carry on for you would have to deal with the Flying Scroll in the spiritual realm that I’ve sent forth as mentioned in Zechariah 5:1-4. God is great.

While Sabrina is taking care of the administration of things, please print out pictures on an A4 sheet & paste them at all the 7Eleven convenience stores in your neighbourhood. Somebody is bound to spot him.

Here’s the map of the place where we’ve been. The Kelong is marked with a Doggie icon.

With the help of Hew, Daniel & Adi, we set out to infiltrate the water channels that are extremely shallow & only navigatable during high tide. The water was rapid & the surf was up. If I have refused to take you along to the site, watch this video & you will understand why.

There are sand flies that are immune to insect repellents. We’ve been bitten silly & I’ve got marks to prove it. The dogs have gone into hiding. Adi wouldn’t advise us going further than what he feels is safe for any of us. He knows something that we don’t and we’re not arguing. It was awfully quiet apart from the sound of Kingfishers calling & the occasional Drongo. We could hear the sounds coming from the kelong. Every bit of noise emanates through the Bakau forest. Even the Brahminy Kite that protested from above, couldn’t make the dogs bark or whine like before. They have become afraid. Not surprising considering how much noise the entourage of 30+ people who made their presence felt with the press two Saturdays ago.

Venturing in.....The dots are where we’ve travelled on the kayak. A total distance of 4.3km but the distances that Hew covered in the mangrove was more as he did not carry the GPS. The island is about 7km long and the widest point is 3km. There are waterways that are just impossible to pass because of fallen logs & such.

Without all that glitzy & glamourous help, we have gotten 21 dogs out by the grace of God & all your prayers. Please continue to pray for the team, for God to lead us to the dogs, protection for Sabrina & the farm and the public to learn the truth.  .

Without Kuning, Hitam is the lone ranger who carries the food to the dogs but not the charisma to get them to safety. Adi, Bono & Shafi are pining for him like a parent pining for a lost child. May God stir the souls who are responsible for the abduction and not give them any moment of peace till they return him.
