Street Kids....&puppies

There have not been many street kids selling puppies lately, I think this is because they have realised that it is not profitable, or because it is not the breeding season,  but now that winter is over....let's just hope and wait. The SPCA here suggests that if you see these children, to get their contact details if possible and report it to the SPCA, it's not likely they will give you their details though-in which case you can call the police, who will take into their hands and confiscate the animals, who will be taken to the SPCA. If you see the animal is unwell, being treated badly, please call the SPCA and they will do what they can about it!

Also- the SPCA feels that just feeding stray animals and not giving them the other necessary things-such as love,care and medical attention will not guarantee their quailty of life. So do all you can for them! If you find strays take them to the SPCA where they can be looked after!

And this goes against SPCA policy-but i feel that if you can't take these animals home and for some unknown reason can;t get them to the SPCA, I would feed them. Better miserable and full than miserable and straving-but I repeat-this is not SPCA policy!
