The Singapore SPCA reported in its annual report 1996 that for the financial year ending June 2016, it took in 2,317 animals.(http://www.spca.org.sg/pdf/SPCA%20Annual%20Report%202016.pdf)

I personally believe that cases of animal abandonment would be reduced if animal sales are disallowed as the practice is over commercialized. I do realize this is not practical nor enforceable but I would surely like to see a shift towards this thinking.
