An appalling video that was recently posted on Facebook and YouTube shows a man—who is believed to be from Malaysia—violently abusing a small poodle. In the video, the man constantly punches the dog in the face, shakes him, and hurls him across the room in an apparent attempt to teach him to stand upright. Throughout the torturous incident, the small, weakened dog pants and cries out in distress. At one point, the abuser shows the dog some food in a metal bowl, but then bashes him in the head with it. Visit this link for more information on this horrific case. Under Part IV of the Animals Act 2006, Malaysia's animal welfare act, the abuser could face six months in prison. PETA Asia collected leads on the case and submitted them to authorities, including the government's Veterinary Services Department as well as the police. But no action has been taken! Please politely urge Malaysian officials to find the abuser, remove all the animals who are currently under his care, and vigorously prosecute him.
