Re: my security guards dogs
Further to the notice of by laws on registration
and control of dogs in residential houses dated 29th July, 2013, we
would like to respond as follows :-
1.1
The
number of dogs as security guards is the off springs (too precious) of our own
mother dogs. The number in excess of two is desirable for our situation and we
are prepared to pay for licence for more than two dogs. For the purpose of guard dogs, two is
definitely in adequate as puppies need at least six months to be capable to be
guard dogs should one or two dogs go missing for whatever reasons and not
easily replaceable.
1.2
The
dogs maybe noisy being in a new area as we have just moved into the new address
in Taman Sri Kepayan. There are many
reasons why the guard dogs make some excessive noises and even howling at
times. For the noise the number of dogs
is irrelevant as even two hard working guard dogs can make similar level of
noise like barking and howling. Our guard dogs are very sensitive to ‘foreigners’
and neighbours who walk close to the separating fence. Initially, the dogs want to get to know the
new neighbours and barking is a way to show that. The dogs know the hearts of the people (good
or bad stances) and would react to those scenarios.
2.
We
appreciate the effort of DBKK’s staff on the complaints of the neighbours to
the noises of my security guards. While
the complaints maybe justified, there are also lots of other complaints that
can be lodged to DBKK on several identified breaches of by-laws and laws like
excessive and extensive extensions to houses with or without approved plans, houses
with concreted compounds, increasing crimes – petty and serious crimes on
personal and properties safety, parking issues etc. What about those with ‘loud speakers’?
3.
While
we ask for tolerance and even acceptance for the initial noises from the guard
dogs as settling into the new area, we would like to speak on behalf of the
dogs in specific and in general and we would prepare a detailed paper as
soon as possible for education and acceptance purposes why more dogs especially
guard dogs be allowed as an exception.
As an initially measure, the guard dogs would be more agitated and
likely retaliate towards hostile people (knowing the hearts of such persons) as
a natural instinct. Some people may say the barking of dogs disturb them in
their sleep but we would sleep more soundly with our guard dogs around knowing
our guard dogs for more than 20 years.
Give peace a chance.
4.
.Maybe
with the appropriate education, the
by-laws of two dogs instead of five or more previously can be amended not to
benefits the criminals for the commission of crimes seen (normal barking for
the presence of ‘criminals’ or unseen (howling of evil manifestation). Dogs
don’t bark for nothing.
5.
We
trust those complaints would be put to rest with the assurance that dogs in our
communities are justified as dogs have more rights in Sabah
for reasons known and unknown. Peace for
all.
Thank you for your prompt attention.
Yours faithfully,
Joshua Kong
