IPOH: An animal welfare group has voiced serious concern over a recent case where a man killed a stray dog using a firecracker and was subsequently fined RM2,000 by the courts under Section 428 of the Penal Code.
Persatuan Haiwan Terbiar Malaysia (SAFM) president R. Kalaivanan said while the organisation respects the court’s decision, the case highlights broader issues regarding the prosecution of animal cruelty in Malaysia.
