I WELCOME the Selayang Sessions Court’s decision on Tuesday to sentence a 42-year-old man to 34 months’ jail and RM40,000 fine after he was convicted of killing a pregnant cat by stuffing it into a laundromat dryer.
This sentence should serve as a lesson to every Malaysian to refrain from committing any form of cruelty on animals. The sentence is all the more significant as the culprit was the first to be prosecuted under the Animal Welfare Act 2015 (AWA 2015) since it came into force in July 2017.
