Indeed, it is very hard and scary, I actually cried on the spot when I saw the place, may be I'm too weak to see that. For the time being, I don't know when will this mission end, I just hope I can do as much as I can for the poor dogs, just wish to get them out of there for the time being. If you are free, contact TV immediately!! They need a lot of help! Even donation also will be good. I'm lucky as I managed to raise up enough of funds from friends and team members to cover the cost for everything.

i've actually contacted sabrina yesterday... but till now no reply i shall cc to tv and see coz we are still in dark as what we can provide and what other costs involved... as of now i can get a van/those four wheel truck, food, cage over... most prob will be asking around for more donations plus supplies from pet shops... (else a discount will do)

most importantly is what are the costs so that we can estimates and also what supplies are necessary. Thanks so much for your help.

Guys, instead of every other person contacting Sabrina or TV Smith, please post whatever help you guys can provide in here and let 1 or 2 person do the calling. It'll be very confusing to both of them if different ppl calls in to offer help and etc. Everyone please work together for the dogs' sake.

Thanks

Get vet!!! Because those dogs need medical treatment from vet, so better get some for them. For my cost actually quite high, because we rent a bus but got discount la because I know the owner mah, but haven't come to conclusion for the price yet as I'm not sure I will be using the bus until when. Then cages I got 10 but all are contribution from the members as most of us are animal lovers, we have cages so just bring ours lo; as for the boats, we rented and really a big bomb, it costs us up to RM2500 with discounted price for today 

As for dog foods, I've got people to donate around 200kg of dog's food, so I'm not sure the exact cost. What else? As for vet's fee, I've got friends who are vet, so foc As for gloves and other things, also contribution from the members. I'm lucky because I manage to get people to donate, and contribute.

Actually, the most costly part will be the boats, vet's fees, and dog foods, others I think are still alright, also the land transport to transport the dogs. Well, just try your best  to help them.
Actually this is the first time I got on to a boat, this is also my worst experience in doing charity, the ever first time I'm so scared and screaming and crying like hell. May be because of the snakes, I'm actually very scared of snakes.

Finally I'm back and can't wait to share.

We arrived the place at around 9 in the morning. We were separated into few boats to work together in getting the dogs, but seriously look at the place by myself, I couldn't hold my tears at all, not only me but quite a number from my members too. Why? Because it is really like a hell island, it looks so scary! It looks so pitiful for those dogs.

See, there's no place for anyone to stand on at all, whole island full with branches and trees, there are also a lot of poison snakes, eagles, and bones!!! Dead dogs around every where, from the boats we could hear the dogs barking, I guess they are barking for help, they are also in an urge to get out from that hell island.

Long story cut short, we tried many ways to get hold of the dogs but seriously couldn't. There are some dogs get stuck in the branches, we can't reach them. Most important, they ran very fast when they saw us. Pity them. We used food to make them come out but many times also they manage to run off. Luckily we manage to catch a puppy but with the price of a cut on one of the member's hand and I dropped my sun glasses. Well, overall, worth it!

We make a mistake for didn't carry enough of water with us, we ran out of water by noon, well we thought per person with 3 litres of water will do but who knows the weather is killing us! So we had no choice but to call it off earlier for today. We are going to set up traps to get hold of the dogs, as well we will be bringing some weapons with us such as parang, because of those blardy branches block our way. We do carry some big pieces of wood too so we use it to place on the boats and the branches, we could walk on it but it is very dangerous too. Actually this is not advisable but no problem la, do it quietly lo.

Anyway, the female puppy we manage to get by today was given a name -Gigi. It's because when we got her, she was shivering, like the sound of gi gi gi gi gi gi like that,so just name her Gigi. One of the member saw her so cute and decided to take her home, now she is with the vet I think. 

I'm so tired , even this sound like nothing much for many people, even I have never thought it would be this tiring and exhausted but seriously, it's like killing. Not only physically but also mentally. Imagine those carcasses, dead dogs, skeletons around the mangrove shore, that island really deserved the name of "hell". Seriously it's a very scary nightmare.

Guess, that's all in my mind right now, really can't think of anything.

That is exactly the reason why we are holding off the Pulau Ketam visit this weekend and discuss the best way to handle the rescue mission with Sabrina. I know everyone have the best intentions but better prepare carefully so that every trip made to rescue the dogs are not in vain. Anyone interested in joining us at FFF this weekend or for next weekend's Pulau Ketam mission, please post here. The committee will take note of those of you guys that's joining.

Don't get too excited first. As mentioned, careful planning is required. Sabrina and TV Smith are working very hard to rescue the dogs at Hell Island, so don't bombard them with calls/emails at the moment. The Pulau Ketam dogs are not in serious condition as the ones at Hell Island, so there is still time for us plan the next step. Anyone who have any ideas to contribute on how to trap the dogs (to get them off the island), kindly post their ideas here. Thank you!

As mentioend, one of the ideas I can think of is to use fishing nets. Another idea is to ask villagers to help us catch the dogs <-- might not work coz some of them might expect monetary reward. Anyway, feel free to contribute ideas please.

I wonder.. is there any goverment vet nearby that u guys can send the rescued dogs for treatment? Such as Klinik Kembiri etc. Err.. Are they good vet?

I will be at FFF either this Saturday or Sunday, or both days Will usually be there every weekend, depends on both weekends or Saturday only/Sunday only.

need to sort out. not sure how well is their reputation. need guidance from klang ppl.

My contribution, as per discussed with Adrian on MSN.

Initially, I wanted to buy as many cages as possible, however, the cost for a cage is not cheap, it is out of my budget.

However, I was inspired by this photo,



I read about you guys blogs and feedbacks, it seems that the area at Pulau Ketam / Pulat Tengah is harsh and not easy to deal with. Muddy, dirty, broken nails & kayu, trash, poisonous reptiles, bones (omg) etc etc. Therefore, I believe you guys need a safety foot wear to protect yourself.

Yup, the yellow safety boots!

I will contribute 10 pairs of Safety Boots (since my company is selling it, so I am able to buy it at a good/staff price).

Will get the sizes from Adrian. We have ready stock for shoes size 4, 5, 6, 7.
