and oh.. the fines. the fines would be up to rm100,000 / 7 years in prison.

yes, 100k. not worth the trouble!!

R=runny
N=nose
S=syndrome

How we can prevent and how we cure RNS?

I successfully cured my IST of RNS using Azoo Anti-Bacterial liquid medication sold at Ikano (green box). He was very lethargic, always sleeping, bubbling nose, but still eating well. Took about 6wks n 3 bottles to cure him. All well now.

sam, dont mind after attaching the paper. can help to translate into english? thanks ya

Bottom right hand side stated that tortoise owners must surrender their tortoise to perhilitan before 29th June 2010.

Nothing to say...........

expect our forests, waterways, etc to be filled with foreign species

Can go catch some star tortis in Muar there. Near the paya bakau area near the jetty there. My friend let go his pets there last year..

Couldnt find any closest translation of that Chinese news article.

Not sure whether this is of any use.....

http://www.mmail.com.my/content/39430-surr...animals-or-else

not a good news to keepers

but wtf, mm is a tabloid. those statements won't hold much weight in court.

The top part say bla bla about a few ops napping found some bush meat and animals .......etc

Like angel9362 its the bottom part that worries us !!

Towards the last 2 column it says about CITES being form by 175 countries , ....etc and the more common pets includes African grey parrot , Indian Star , Radiated and Madagascar Tortoise (Angonoka or Yniphora ) will be protected under the new said law .
Those with the above mentioned tortoise species will have to surrender them in to avoid violating the law , as for owner of African Grey owner will be allowed to keep after application processed and permit issued !!

Once convicted fine of up to RM 100,000 and 7 years behind bars or both !!

---------------------------------

What happened to the many hundreds of Indian Star that the department say to be sent back to India few years back ??

And did any Orang Utan got returned to us Malaysia that were found smuggled in oversea airport or homes ....etc ??

Since they (illegal animals ) already in Malaysia why cant they (department) just legalised them to their present owner ??

Added on June 12, 2010, 5:29 amYou are not going to save a species from extinction by keeping them away from trade !! You got to understand them , do more studies and try breed them !!

CITES is about regulating the trade .

If I am to do this (as if possible) put a microchip into all declared animals and legalised them as pets even for CITES I aniamls ................. BUT PETS should not be bred for sale or export ........... so as not to complicate matters about CITES f1 or f2 deemed export-able

sam, morning. you really wake up very early. i guess the early bird get the worms heh

headache bro, everyone cannot sleep.

Sigh... This makes it heart ache. So many years punya pet have to let go.

So where to surrender?

the way i see it.

how many turtle owners in malaysia? 100, 500, a thousand??

i expect new species of tortoise & turtle in Malaysia ecosystem, soon..

cakap pun susah with this high authority people..

I may be wrong, but isn't this like having pirated movies at home?

Can these people actually raid our home? Let's say they ring on bell, we go quickly hide the animals, will they turn our whole house upside down, or will they just storm into our home? What rights do they have to do that? They need to get a search permit, get the police, etc etc.

So is the new law really targeting/scaring us or just mainly to traders which is much easier to catch?

according to Article 24 of Act 686 (damn.. so long to type) enforcement officers can ransack our premises without warrant. sounds too extreme, right?

mari mogok la. hati tak senang.

Most of you have read this > Surrender your endangered animals or ELSE

Few have read these :

1. Uno
2. Dos
3. Tres
4. Tres
5. Cinco

Keyword - Misliah Mohamad Basir.
Attributes - Conflicting statements.

Good luck keepers. Think its time to pick up everything and tie up the loose ends? The hobby is in dire need for a vocally talented politician.
