Guest guest Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 Buffaloes victims of hit-and-run - New Straits Times 02 Nov 2006 -- REMBAU: It was a scene of bloody carnage, after eight buffaloes were knocked down at Km33 of the Seremban-Tampin road early yesterday. Uglier still, a witness said three injured animals were slaughtered on the the spot and carted off by several men in a passing lorry. " Three of the buffaloes although injured were still very much alive, but not for long because the men slaughtered them, " said 70-year-old Zainal Abidin Ahmad, from the nearby village of Kampung Sungai Layang. Rembau district council workers later cleared the road of the remaining five dead animals with a bulldozer and buried them nearby. District police chief Superintendent Mizan Md Dom said so far neither the driver nor the owner of the dead cattle has filed a report on the 6.20am incident. " Judging from the impact, we believe the buffaloes were hit by a heavy vehicle, maybe a lorry or a trailer. " Mizan also warned that it was an offence to steal or slaughter the injured animals. " If we track the perpetrators down and we have enough evidence, they can be charged with theft, " he said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
