Recently, disturbing videos started circulating on social media, apparently showing a man physically abusing a dog.
On Saturday (18 Jul) morning, the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) launched an urgent appeal on Facebook seeking information on the case.
In one of the videos, a topless man was seen punching the dog, landing heavy blows on the dog’s head and stomach.
The dog can be heard squealing helplessly as it was physically abused.
The man was also seen in another video swinging the dog by its hind legs.
A third clip shows the dog’s limbs tied together using blue ropes and a band tied around its mouth.
Netizens have apparently identified the man behind the video and have tagged the relevant authorities on Facebook posts which the clips were shared.
In its Facebook appeal, SPCA wrote that they are seeking information on the man shown in the video clips.
They are also appealing to members of the public for information on where the dog can be found.
Those with relevant information may reach out through SPCA’s 24-hours hotline at 6287 5355 or via email at inspector@spca.org.sg.
Later in the morning, Nee Soon MP Louis Ng also took to Facebook to express concern.
If you happen to have any information regarding the case, please contact SPCA immediately.
No living creature deserves to be abused and we hope the authorities will conduct a thorough investigation of the incident.
