Guest guest Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 New Straits Times- 29.3.07. 'My Buffalo was dragged, starved' A former commando who now owns an animal farm is incensed over an alleged act by Ipoh City Hall enforcement unit in dragging one of his buffaloes behind a moving vehicle for nearly 10km. Sarjit Singh, 47, said he could not imagine anyone being so cruel. Sarjit who collected the seized animal from City Hall's stable in Buntong here on Tuesday last week, said yesterday his buffalo had lost its tail, had injuries to its nostrils and neck and looked as though it had not eaten for quite some time. I was shocked to see its condition. Now it is eating everything I feed her. That's how hungry she is. It looks as though she was not fed for at least six days while at the stable. Sarjit paid RM250 in compound fine to retrieve his 21/2 year old buffalo. Apparently, the animal had strayed onto the public road about two weeks ago when the former Royal Malaysia Air Force commando was in Petaling Jaya for medical treatment. Sarjit said he returned home to find one of his buffaloes missing and was told by a neighbour that it was seized byCity Hall. He said his neighbour also told him the enforcement team was quite rough in capturing the animal before tying it to the back of their vehicle. " Imagine being dragged behind a speeding four wheel drive. It's nearly 10km from my place to Buntong. This is heartless " , he said. Sarjit, who walks with a limp following an injury sustained while in service, also said that he did not receive any notice from City Hall over the seizure.
