IN a horrifying repeat of animal cruelty, a second dog has reportedly been found skinned alive in Sabah.
The latest victim, discovered by the roadside in Kota Belud, had a large patch of skin peeled off its back, reported China Press.
Facebook user Teeta Hezieta shared that she saw the dog while driving along Jalan Kota Belud Bypass.
Her post has since drawn the attention of animal rescuers who reached out to help.
The dog’s condition remains unknown.
The graphic nature of the post sparked an uproar online, with many condemning the cruelty.
This follows a similarly gruesome case reported last week, in which a dog was found with nearly 90% of its skin ripped off while still alive.
> A motorcyclist in Pahang went out of his way to search for the owner of about RM1,000 he picked up from a highway.
While riding on the East Coast Expressway, the man noticed RM50 notes fluttering to the ground – apparently from the pocket of a fellow motorcyclist who had just ridden past him.
“I tried to chase after him, but he was too fast,” the Good Samaritan shared in a video on social media, reported Sin Chew Daily.
Undeterred, he picked up the scattered cash along with a wallet containing an identity card and immediately contacted friends to help spread the word.
After a two-hour search, he finally met up with the wallet’s owner at a nearby rest stop and returned everything upon verifying the man’s identity.
