The act of abandoning an animal when it is likely to suffer trauma, pain or suffering is considered animal cruelty under the Animal Welfare Act 2015. — KAMARUL ARIFFIN/The Star
The authorities are investigating a total of 81 cases of pet dumping and animal cruelty during the movement control order. Some of the abandoned dogs are expensive breeds like shih tzu and poodles, says an animal rights group.
THE dog was hung from a tree by its neck, in a horrifying video that went viral earlier this month.
The man who did it pleaded guilty in court and is now behind bars.
