Pet Expedition

By Gavin Tan Min Yao

  Last weekend, there was a pet expedition held in Setia City Convention Centre. This was the second time they having a pet expedition where the first was last year. This time it was a two days expedition and it was crowded than before.

  This time, they even had a pet competition for dogs and cats. The competition for both pet was the fashion show competition. This competition challenged one’s groomer skills and its wearing. The first prize will win a total RM10, 000 of pet accessory coupon. For second and third prize will win a total of RM5, 000 and RM2, 500 respectively. The limit number of place to enter this competition was 100 pet. There was also a competition only for dogs, the dog that join this competition must face through all the course given such ass jump over, climbing up and down and walk through hole. The wining prize for this competition was as same as the one before.

  Inside, there were many visitors exploring this expedition while bringing along their pets. This expedition purpose was to propagate pet shops to the people. While they propagate about their shop, they also sell some goods such as pet food and pet treats. They also sell accessory such as pet’s toys, pet shirts and pet beds. Some of it propagates pet’s food such as Pedigree and some even propagates pet’s graveyard. At there, they have a lecture about a slogan “Save the Stray” to tell the public about the life of a stray animal. They even make a video clip by tying around a stray dog. The video clip shows when the stray dog hungry,it search rubbish for food; when the stray dog trusty, it drink the dirty water by the street. At the end of the clip, a car smashes the dog and that was how stray dogs die.

  Nowadays, having a bird, dog and cat were very common this day. But there was a strange pet like such as snakes, chameleon and even spider. There was a pet shop that only sells reptiles and same thing goes to spider. I saw a visitor bringing in a skunk and carry it like carry a wallet. I even saw a big kind dog that was two meter long and always asleep. I also saw a people bringing in a fox to the expedition.

  This expedition was over of my expectation, all the pets have amaze me by the different type of it.
