Animal lovers have been warned of a dog killer believed to be on the prowl in Island Glades, George Town.
Animal lover David Yim said that on Sunday alone, four dogs were found dead and another one yesterday. Plastic bags of food believed to be poisoned were near the carcasses, he added.
“The killing started in March when a house owner found his pet dog dead in the compound but he did not think much of it until he heard from his neighbours, who fed strays, about the numerous dead dogs in the area,” he said.He added that the Animal Welfare Act 2015 had specific sections dealing with these offences, namely Section 29 , Section 30 and Section 31 .
He added that he did not understand why anyone would want to do such a cruel thing as the dogs had not hurt anyone. Yim added that dogs provide humans with companionship and love, and should not be treated this way as they were also used for search and rescue operations.
