Important: Petition Against Abuse of Strays by Municipal Council Workers
In the latest animal abuse video which surfaced on the Internet on the 5th of May 2011, 6 municipal council workers
from Majlis Perbandaran Batu Pahat (Johor) are seen mercilessly dragging a stray dog, pinning it to the ground
while it cries loudly in distress and stabbing it with a syringe filled with what we imagine to be sedative,
while the driver arrogantly says to the camera in Malay "why don't you come closer to take the video and give a thumbs up sign!".
The dog was brutally captured and euthanized in full-view of the entire neighbourhood.
Over the years, animal lovers have stood by and watched helplessly as municipal council workers handled stray dogs with brute
force while catching, transporting, housing and euthanizing them.
SPCA Selangor is working on launching a nationwide petition to the Prime Minister of Malaysia with the help of other local
animal-welfare NGOs to highlight the ongoing rampant cruelty by municipal council workers, and we hope to collectively garner
more than 50,000 signatures by the end of 2011.
The petition will be launched in the second half of May 2001 and animal lovers from Malaysia and all over the world will be able to sign and voice their concerns online!
