Target: Minister of Agriculture and Food Industries, Datuk Seri Ronald Kiandee, Malaysia
Goal: Implement stricter animal cruelty laws, ensure thorough investigations, and provide necessary resources for animal welfare organizations to combat abuse.
In recent months, Malaysia has seen a disturbing increase in animal abuse cases, raising concerns among animal rights activists and the public. Incidents involving various animals, including dogs and cats, have highlighted the urgent need for stricter animal protection measures and effective enforcement of existing laws.
Authorities and residents in Penang discovered multiple dogs showing severe symptoms of poisoning. Despite efforts to save them, 27 dogs reportedly succumbed to the toxic substance. The Penang Veterinary Services Department and local authorities are investigating, but no poison has been confirmed in the area. An anonymous animal lover has offered an RM10,000 reward for information leading to the prosecution of those responsible.
Near Merpati Apartment in Pandan Indah, Kuala Lumpur, a dog was allegedly strangled and had its legs chopped off by a mentally ill individual. Instagram user Caroline Thomas reported the incident, and multiple reports have been filed with the Department of Veterinary Services Malaysia (DVS) and the police.
A video circulating on social media reportedly showed a dog being beaten with a metal rod. The video, shared by My Forever Doggo and MAWA Malaysia, led to a police report and the arrest of the perpetrator. The DVS took custody of two dogs under the abuser’s care for further investigation.
A video shared by the Shelter for Abused and Abandoned Animals (SAAA) reportedly showed an abuser hitting a dog with a broomstick in Sungai Petani, Kedah. The dog was seen limping after the beating. Police reports have been made, and further updates are awaited.
These alarming cases underscore the urgent need for stricter animal cruelty laws and better enforcement to prevent such incidents in the future. The government must take decisive action to protect animals and ensure justice for these innocent victims. Implement stricter animal cruelty laws, and ensure thorough investigations.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Datuk Seri Ronald Kiandee,
I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the recent surge in animal abuse cases in Malaysia. The horrific incidents reportedly involving dogs and cats being poisoned, mutilated, and beaten have highlighted the urgent need for stricter animal protection measures and more effective enforcement of existing laws.
Twenty-seven dogs in Penang reportedly succumbed to poisoning. Additionally, cases of dogs reportedly being mutilated and beaten in Kuala Lumpur and Sungai Petani have caused public outrage. Despite investigations, justice has yet to be served for these innocent animals.
I urge you to implement stricter animal cruelty laws, ensure thorough investigations, and provide the necessary resources for animal welfare organizations to combat abuse. It is imperative that we protect these vulnerable animals and hold perpetrators accountable for their actions.
Your prompt action on this matter will not only ensure justice for the victims but also set a strong precedent for animal welfare in Malaysia. Let us work together to create a safer environment for all animals and uphold the principles of compassion and justice in our society.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

All who would harm animals and abuse animals need to be treated exactly like the animals they abused. Do unto others as they have done. Do not spare any harm as these people are not worth your effort. If people see they will have to hurt and suffer for the actions they took we may finally see the lessening of these abusive actions. People are stupid and will continue to do anything they can get away with but to stop it you must cause suffering to them for how they made innocents suffer. Sadly, it’s the only way some people learn. IF they don’t lear the first time throw them in the worst prison possible and allow them to suffer with out parole, ever!
