Family to sue council over killing of pet dog
SIMPANG RENGGAM, Feb 21:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The family whose pet dog was dragged out of their home to be shot and
bludgeoned to death last Thursday will be suing the Simpang Rengam
District Council.
Roland Ngoi said his family had engaged lawyer Gobind Singh Deo.
Ngoi is alleging that council enforcement officers dragged their dog,
"Siau Mau", out of the house in Kampung Baru Layang Layang before
shooting it in front of family members.
He said what's worse was when the pet did not immediately die, the
officers bludgeoned it, despite the pleas of his elderly mother and
teenaged daughter.
Gobind, who is also Johor DAP deputy chairman, said it was a criminal
offence for anyone to kill or maim animals under Sections 428 and 429
of the Malaysian Penal Code.
"Those found guilty under these sections can be jailed for between two
and five years and fined," he said.
Meanwhile, pet lovers and members of the community today called the
New Straits Times to express their outrage at the way the pet had been
killed.

Society for the Prevention of Cruelty of Animals (SPCA) Johor chairman
John Thomas said he was saddened but not surprised to read of the
killing of the pet dog.
"This is not the first time that SPCA (Johor) has heard of such action
by enforcement units of district councils," he said.
However, he said most affected pet owners did not make police reports.
Thomas said the SPCA was appalled at the high-handed action of the
council and would pursue the matter through various channels to
protect the rights of individuals and animals.
"That was a barbaric act and no civilised country should ever tolerate
such an action," he said.
Council president Abdul Latiff Yusof said his enforcement team denied
the family's allegations.
Abdul Latiff denies the claims by the family.
He said an internal probe by his office showed that 10 dogs were
killed that day, and the dog in question was near the Layang Layang
wet market.
He claimed that the council dog shooters had ensured that it did not
have a dog licence around its neck before it was killed.
----------------------------------------------------------------------- well of corse we cant just listen stories from 1 side as it will actually mislead us, but what we are concern is y the dog is killed immediately?! the owners are there to respond to what the council personals wants. 1 of the member of SPRV called the owner, according to the owner the story is like tht:" tht day suddenly a group of indians rush in to their house, tht time the dog is leashed, the indians gang ran inside & unleash the dog, pulling the dog away as if trying to kidnap & keep shouting, angpao angpao! then the old lady told them, my dog got license 1! wait i go up & take for u all! of corse if the dog got license the indians cant get any "ANGPAO", so they get fethup. their neighbour saw this scene. the dog have the license. the so called "authority" doesnt have the right to enter any premise without a paper notice in black & white. moreover killed the dog & bit the dog. this is disgusting. this is cruel. all of us must continue chat here but the better action is right to the news! more sounds are better! according to the owner, this dog will actually accompany her daughter go out & wait for bus every schoolind day, after the daughter went on the bus, she will come back. a clever dog like tht? wasted... Animal do have their right to survive, they have feelings too. Chen Yang
