MIRI: A call has been made in the Dewan Negara for stricter laws to curb the increasing cases of cruelty towards animals in Sarawak.

The national Animal Welfare Act enforced by the Federal Government in 2017 needs to be extended to Sarawak, where such legislation is already 20 years out of date, said Senator Alan Ling Sie Kiong.
