IPOH: The tailor whose pet dog was shot and killed in Tanjung Rambutan hopes that the shooter will be caught.
Chong Kwai Siew, 46, said she now fears for her life as there was someone going around indiscriminately shooting and taking lives.
“How can anyone simply shoot an animal?
“If the person had missed, I could have been the one who was shot, she told a press conference held by Perak MCA Public Service and Complaints Bureau chief Low Guo Nan at state MCA headquarters here on Tuesday (March 2).
“I also hope to get an explanation for the shooting and justice for my dog, ” she said, adding that she was still heartbroken over the incident.
Scene of the crime: A police officer taking photographs of the area where the dead dogs were found.
IPOH: A spate of stray dog poisoning cases is causing public concern and they want the authorities to take serious action against the perpetrators.
With at least 50 dogs found dead in the past three weeks, suspected to have been poisoned, the public are concerned that the cruel act will get worse if the perpetrators are not brought to justice.
An animal rescue non-governmental organisation here is offering a reward to those who can provide information on the individuals responsible for poisoning the dogs.
Ipoh Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals president Ricky Soong.
IPOH: Half a dozen stray dogs in Taman Cempaka here have died due to suspected poisoning in the last two days.
Condemning the cruel act, Ipoh Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals president Ricky Soong said there were proper channels to deal with stray dogs, and people should not take it into their own hands to kill the animals. We found three dead dogs on Thursday (Dec 17) and another three more on Friday (Dec 18) morning. We are not sure who did it and what was used to kill the animals, as there was no foam in their mouths, he said when contacted.
