KUCHING: More than 200 animals at the Animal Shelter of Sarawak Society for The Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SSPCA) in Kota Sentosa were blessed in a ceremony to commemorate World Animal Day 2013 yesterday.
Father Gerard Victor and his fellow brothers of St. Ann’s Church conducted the animal blessings.
This ceremony is for all kinds of pets like dogs, cats, hamsters, turtles, fish, and lizards.
Participation is free and it will begin from 3pm to 4pm.
“The 269 animals at our shelter will not be able to attend the blessing ceremony at BCCK on Oct 12. We therefore thank Friar Gerard Victor for agreeing to conduct a special blessing ceremony today (yesterday) for these abused, abandoned and unwanted animals.
“Some of them are healing from their wounds, others are pining for their families, and all of them are waiting to find new homes with loving families,” she said.
The animal blessing ceremonies are part of SSPCA’s annual World Animal Groove Music Festival 2013 (WAG 2013), which aimed to raise awareness about animal welfare, and to raise funds for the new SSPCA Animal Village.
Other WAG 2013 events are International Symposium on ‘Animals and The City’ from 8.30am to 5pm and SSPCA gala charity dinner from 7pm to 11pm on Oct 11.
On Oct 12, there will be a SSPCA animal race which is a 10 km run from 7am to 9am, WAG bazaar from 12noon to 8pm, Wiggle Waggle Walk from 2pm to 3pm, inter-faith pet blessing ceremony from 3pm to 3.30pm, and WAG music festival from 7pm to midnight.
All these events will be taking place at BCCK. All proceeds from the events will go towards the Animal Village.
Pet owners are encouraged to participate in the Wiggle Waggle Walk. To participate, each family is required to pledge a minimum of RM60 towards the new animal village.
Pledge cards are available from the SSPCA shelter or from Brenda Png at 019-8863118. Each pledge card will be eligible for one free WAG music festival ticket.
As for the symposium, it will feature a stellar line-up of speakers from across the Asia region, including experts from Hong Kong, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia and Malaysia.
