Animal group condemns cruel act
SAFM president R. Kalaivanan condemned the cruel act, stating that such actions are unacceptable, adding:
This cruelty challenges the fundamental principles of humanity and clearly violates the law under the Animal Welfare Act 2015.
Immediate and decisive action is required to ensure justice is served, he said, seeking witnesses to come forward to help with the investigation.
SAFM also called for immediate action and a thorough investigation into the case.
The non-governmental organisation urged the authorities to investigate the case, demanding full enforcement of the Act.
It imposes a fine of up to RM100,000 (S$30,400) and/or imprisonment for up to three years.
Group calls for stronger laws & more effective enforcement
“Animal cruelty is still rampant despite various awareness campaigns”, said Mr Kalaivanan.
This was due to weak law enforcement that often allows offenders to escape scot-free.
Thus, he called for stronger laws and more effective enforcement.
SAFM also appealed to the community to unite in defending animal rights and holding offenders accountable.
