They are known for lavishing care in life on their animals; soon grieving pet owners in Singapore, will have a chance to share their feelings about furred family members after they pad off to the great beyond – via obituaries in the city-state’s largest newspaper. From Sunday, The Straits Times pets section will let pet owners publish goodbye messages to their favourite non-human companions along with an accompanying photo. The memorials will be part of a “pets’ corner” in the paper’s classifieds section, along with notices by the SPCA (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) and other animal groups about pets available for adoption.
