We must stop turning a blind eye to animal cruelty


COMING on the heels of the case of a man who put three cats in a washing machine, resulting in their deaths, was another case of animal cruelty, this time by council workers who bludgeoned a stray dog to death. The latest miscreants must be made to face the full force of the law.

The public must therefore heed the call by Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye, patron of the Selangor Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, to be vigilant and report similar cases for the authorities to take quick action (“Cops probing animal cruelty by council workers”, Sunday Star, July 11; online at bit.ly/star_cruelty).
