NEW YORK, March 26 (Reuters) - The U.S. technology industry is being pushed to shrink its power use in times of high demand, amid growing public concern that Big Tech's massive electricity needs for its expansion of data centers are maxing out the country's grid.
SINGAPORE: A man who is accused of causing unnecessary suffering to 60 animals by keeping them in cramped cages , among other alleged crimes, was handed more than 120 charges in court on Friday . Ho Choon Wei, 43, is said to have failed to take reasonable steps to ensure 53 dogs and seven cats, which were for sale as pets, were not subjected to unnecessary pain and suffering after they were found in cramped cages without proper ventilation.
He is also accused of keeping the animals in captivity on Oct 24, 2024, without a proper licence at the 453A Geylang Road address.Checks by The Straits Times show Ho had in December 2022 incorporated a pet grooming shop registered to that address, but the company has since been cancelled. Charge sheets show that sometime between February 2024 and October 2024, Ho allegedly abetted two men by engaging them to import 53 dogs and seven cats from Malaysia into Singapore without any licences. The animals were then illegally smuggled into Singapore and the group employed couriers to transport them to the 453A Geylang Road address, where they were kept for the purpose of sale. Ho can be sentenced for up to 12 months in jail, fined up to S$10,000, or both, if he is found guilty of transporting the animals without a licence from the Director‑General of Animal Health and Welfare. He can be jailed for up to two years, fined up to $40,000, or both, if found guilty of causing the animals unnecessary suffering in confinement.
