As our connection with animals deepens, so too does our understanding of welfare. This thoughtful book gently guides you through the intricate world of companion animal care in Malaysia, seen through the unique prisms of law, ethics, and faith. We explore gracefully from our shared duties as custodians of creation to everyday challenges like animal health, mistreatment, and population management, all grounded in the timeless "Five Freedoms" and the universal states of animal well-being. You'll gain fresh perspectives on global welfare standards and a clear picture of Malaysia's own legislative journey, including the Animal Welfare Act 2015, enriched by the profound insights of Islamic teachings. This book offers more than just information; it’s a gentle proposal for a future where compassionate animal care is a cornerstone of national policy, fostered by collaboration and shared values. Step into a conversation about how we can better coexist with our animal companions, and how their care beautifully reflects our pursuit of a more merciful and just society.
