Dogs, Smuggling, and That One Unwanted Voice Call
There’s one thing every dog‑lover knows: dogs are friends, not smugglers. That’s how Tan — you know, the volunteer from Stomp and a passionate canine advocate — reacted after two adorable corgis—origin unclear—quickly met their doom in Singapore. The little monsters fell victim to canine parvovirus in less than a week after a top‑secret online buy for a whopping $6,400.
The Shocking Reality Checking the Lines
After Lianhe Zaobao blew the lid off the story, Tan shared the article with fellow dog lovers and those cheeky pet sellers who whisk dogs from Malaysia right into the lion city “by post” on Facebook. She made it crystal clear: “We’re happy to have you in Singapore, but you can’t be sneaky. Get the proper import permits—or else,” she warned, “you’re looking at a legal headache.
Her friendly reminder hit a nerve. One seller fired back with a tirade of vulgar voice‑messages, even spamming Tan’s face with a colorful highlight. The melon‑shaped attacks kept coming until she had to block the chatterbox.
Got Your Back, Ooky‑Boy, Ooky‑Girl
It wasn’t just Tan. Other dog‑fanatics felt the heat too. The angry messenger had a work unit name (a pet shop in Johor Bahru) and kept chasing them across groups, leaving trails of doubt and criticisms that clicked at the most inconvenient moments.
Police Steps In, But Tan’s Still Just a Dog Lover
Tan’s move? She went straight to the police with a report—because when the lovely fluff‑balls are murdered and the sellers hide behind their smiley‑sized digital façade, someone has to speak up. The police confirmed the filing, but Tan calls it a simple act of standing up for the little ones. She’s still just a fan of dogs, not a lawyer.
Behind Every Pup is a Human Story
- Two corgis die from a virus because they were smuggled.
- Tan shines the light on illegal transfers.
- Angry sellers get slack‑years in harassment.
- Police take notes, but the fight is on the frontline.
- Dog lovers present a united front, shouting: Keep it legal, people!
So next time a pup pops up on a “wildly affordable” ad, remember: the law, the health checks, and a good conversation can protect both dogs and their new owners. And if your boss on Facebook decides it’s a “business chat” level, we’ll all stand up—no voice‑call tantrums allowed!
