Abused dog rescued by housing resident

Kota Kinabalu: An abused dog at Taman Tasik here was rescued after a concerned resident alerted the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) here.

The resident decided to help the canine after witnessing its owner repeatedly abusing the dog by beating it with a water hose since Jan 23.

Unable to endure the abuse by the owner on the dog, the resident took a video recording as evidence and alerted the SPCA on May 22. At 10pm the same day, the resident took another video grab and confronted the owner who in his (dog owner) fury loaded the dog into a vehicle and drove off.

The SPCA here sent a team to investigate the matter on May 23 but neither the owner nor the dog was around.

A police report was subsequently lodged by the team who also presented the authorities with eyewitness and video proof.

The dog is now safely under the SPCA’s care.  The resident thanked the police and SPCA team. The case is now being probed by the police. Animal cruelty is a serious crime and those convicted may be fined RM100,000 or three years jail or both.
