DBKL animal cruelty on "360 degrees" documentary TV3

KL mayor to investigate TV3 report on inhumane killing of dogs and cats
By WANI MUTHIAH

Members of the public are crying foul over the way stray dogs and cats are allegedly killed at the the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) animal pound in Setapak.

This is in reaction to the visuals shown over a TV3 programme 360° on Wednesday night.

The visuals which were captured with a hidden camera showed a pound worker dragging a dying dog with a loop around its neck.

To make matters worse, the “execution” was watched by another terrified dog waiting in line for its turn to be killed.

In the programme two people, who had brought the matter to the attention of the television station, said the dogs’ necks were fractured and cats were drowned or clobbered to death at the pound.

Independent animal rescuer Leigh Chen said her family had watched the programme after being alerted about it by a friend.

“My mother was in tears when she saw what was being done to the dog. She couldn’t believe that such methods were allowed at a government pound,’’ added a distraught Chen.

Clarance C. R. Chua, of the Malaysian Dogs Deserve Better project, said he failed to understand why the workers had resorted to such barbaric methods.

“The only reason I can think off is that they must have done so to save cost from having to buy the drugs and apparatus needed to euthanise these animals,’’ he added.

He said it was shameful that Malaysians could stoop so low to subjugate defenseless animals to such torture.

(The Malaysian Dogs Deserve Better project is a canine welfare initiative launched by non-profit and non-governmental organisation Community Development and Integration Initiative.)

Meanwhile, when contacted Kuala Lumpur mayor Datuk Ahmad Fuad Ismail said he would not condone such cruelty.

“I will talk to my officers and ask them to investigate the matter.

“And if I catch the people who had allegedly killed the cats and dog at the pound so cruelly, I will duly deal with them,’’ said an enraged Ahmad Fuad.

He said the right procedure was to euthanise stray cats and dogs intravenously as opposed to wringing or breaking their necks.

“If the pound had run out of the drugs needed for euthanasia, they should keep the dogs and feed them until the drugs arrive,’’ added Ahmad Fuad.

Meanwhile, Deputy Federal Territories Minister Datuk M. Saravanan said he was shocked with the revelation and added that the alleged culprits were not DBKL workers.

“The job to round up the strays have been outsourced to the DBKL’s appointed agents,’’ said Saravanan.

He said the allegations were serious and urged concerned members of the public and eye witnesses to lodge official complaints with his ministry.

“We will definitely deal with the matter accordingly as we will not tolerate such cruelty,’’ he added
