Persatuan Haiwan Terbiar Malaysia has urged for action to be taken over an alleged animal abuse case in Serdang Jaya

Persatuan Haiwan Terbiar Malaysia has urged for action to be taken over an alleged animal abuse case in Serdang Jaya.

It is believed that a dog was tied behind a lorry and dragged along the road.

The group says the dog may have been tortured to death. “Kami tidak pasti sejauh mana ia diheret atau keadaan anjing ini sekarang,” it adds.

It notes that it received a picture of the incident from its public hotline on April 26.

The group also urges any witnesses of the incident to make a report to the Veterinary Department. “Kami juga menyeru kepada pihak berkuasa untuk menyiasat kes ini,” it adds.

“Menyeksa binatang merupakan salah dari segi undang-undang Akta Kebajikan Haiwan 2015 yang boleh disabit kesalahan penjara tidak lebih 2 tahun atau denda tidak lebih RM100,000 atau kedua-dua sekali.”
