Many videos and pictures on cases of cruelty have been reported and most have also gone viral in the social media. Sadly, some of these may be fake and/or genuine. Some maybe old cases that have been repeatedly showcased. Many have sent messages to ask SPCA to do something about it. What can SPCA and you do!
Firstly, you need to ensure that there is sufficient supporting evidence for the case to be investigated. Find out where this happened and when! Don't simply circulate and share blindly without knowing facts. If this happens in your locality, report to the authorities concerned in your area. When you make a report, do without fear if you want to make your voice heard for the animals. Pictures on the act of cruelty should accompany the report as this will greatly help when investigation takes place. Do give as much detail as you can as this will help the authorities investigate the case effectively and efficiently.
In the event that the animal passed away, please do not dispose of the carcass as it has to be brought to the Jabatan Perkhidmatan Veterinar in Bukit Tengah for a post mortem to be done as well as obtaining a medical report on the animal that has cruelty inflicted on.
In Penang, the authorities (Jabatan Penguatkuasa at Jabatan Perkhidmatan Veterinar) in charge of cruelty cases is based in Bukit Tengah, Bukit Mertajam. They can be reached at telephone no. 04-5084879. You can also make a report at your nearest police station.
