Guest guest Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Friday November 17, 2006 - The Star Present laws inadequate in protecting animals EARLY Wednesday morning I heard the agonising yelps of a dog in pain. I tried to ignore it at first but upon checking, I was shocked to see a man holding an iron bar and hitting two dogs which he had tied up. I asked him to stop but he continued beating them till one of them died. The other dog could not stand up and was in pain. When I questioned his cruel act, he said the dogs were disturbing his things. I felt so helpless that I could not do anything for the animals. If I report it and am willing to bear the wrath of the man's anger, what are the chances that he will be heavily penalised? Our present laws are so inadequate in protecting these helpless animals which deserve to live as we do. I called the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals but was told it could not do anything and that I should call the law enforcement. I am reluctant to take that step because all the trouble would be for nothing when he gets only fined RM100. ORDINARY CITIZEN, Malacca.
