Another article about the cruelty toward dogs in Malaysia
SIMPANG RENGGAM, Feb 21:The family whose pet dog was dragged out of their home to be shot and bludgeoned to death last Thursday will be suing the Simpang Rengam District Council. Roland Ngoi said his family had engaged lawyer Gobind Singh Deo.
Ngoi is alleging that council enforcement officers dragged their dog, "Siau Mau", out of the house in Kampung Baru Layang Layang before shooting it in front of family members.He said what's worse was when the pet did not immediately die, the officers bludgeoned it, despite the pleas of his elderly mother and teenaged daughter.
Gobind, who is also Johor DAP deputy chairman, said it was a criminal offence for anyone to kill or maim animals under Sections 428 and 429 of the Malaysian Penal Code."Those found guilty under these sections can be jailed for between two and five years and fined," he said.
Meanwhile, pet lovers and members of the community today called the New Straits Times to express their outrage at the way the pet had been killed.
