It has been barking for the past few months. I don't find the collie annoying but occasionally, when I am trying to sleep at night and you could hear his barking, it gets to your nerves. The dog belongs to the neighbour that is right below our unit. It is a huge dog, unsuitable for a pet in a HDB flat. Unfortunately, there isn't any inspection or anything.
My other neighbours on the same storey had been complaining about the barking.
"Aiyoh, so loud...such an annoying dog!" one malay neighbour said.
"I'm going to complain to the HDB and get them to something," my chinese neighboured grumbled.
Okay, I know that the dog has been hitting on alot of peoples' nerves, including mine. But I know the reason why it has been barking. One day, when I am washing the dishes, I could hear the dog barking very loudly. I looked down where I could see the balcony of the unit below and I saw the collie, leashed and tied to the balcony grill. It seems to be uncomfortable and alone.
I wonder why did the neighbour had the collie in the first place. If they knew that the collie is huge, they shouldn't have taken it in the first place. Furthermore, leashing it at the balcony where the sun might burn him, or the rain would wet him isn't doing the dog any good at all.
I am seriously contemplating to report the incident to the SPCA...but I wonder what can the Singapore SPCA do? I have watched the Australian's SPCA and the US and UK SPCA, and they have a proper unit to take care of such cases. But in the tiny weenie Singapore, such unit is too small. Not many people are willing to do such jobs. Furthermore, punishment for animal abuse in Singapore is minimal. No one takes it seriously. However, Singapore has been a rather civilised country, thus the animal abuse are minimal as well.
If I call SPCA, SPCA will come in and they might take away the dog. Unfortunately, if the collie isn't adopted within a few months period, they would have to put it down. Urgh...this is a difficult issue here...I will have to think about it more...-_-''
