wrong incentive structure brings wrong results

doesn't take a genius to figure it out. but i think this is one of the most common and biggest mistake one can make.

received a message from my dear friend Andrew.



"Dear Friends,

Some of you may know that my brother's dog, Turbo, was brutally murdered 2 weeks ago. 2 masked men armed with parangs came over to my dad's house. One jumped over the fence, grabbed him and passed it to the 2nd armed man standing guard outside. By then, Turbo was barking very loudly and making a lot of noise. The man hit Turbo several times with the butt of his parang to shut him up. He eventually succeeded. We suspect he was beaten to death at this point.

The Malay Mail covered this story which was published on Wednesday, 24 September 2008. You can view it here ---> http://turbovong.blogspot.com

Alvin has also spoken to other reporters. We will update the blog as more newspapers cover the story. The 2 men who murdered Turbo were hired by Vet-Fine (M) Sdn. Bhd. The Sepang Council outsources the catching of stray dogs to this company and pays them RM 145 per dog. They are going around stealing legitimate dogs for the money & ransom. The SPCA has confirmed this. Also, instead of putting the stray dogs to sleep humanely, they put them in a gunny sacks, tie it to a tree and then beat the dogs to death.

As a show of arrogance, they perform this @ the cemetary next to the SPCA. When the SPCA tried to stop them, they were threatened by parang-weilding thugs.

Last financial year, Vet-Fine (M) Sdn. Bhd. declared a turnover of RM 3+ mil. in revenue. Please spread the word around; especially to dog lovers. "



which genius, i wonder, decide to pay RM145 per dog. unless, the true intention is to just get rid of all dogs? why would anybody want to do that? i am sure most of you would be able to figure out the answer to that.
