Target: Mohd Noor Hisham bin Mohd Haron, Director General, Department of Veterinary Services, Malaysia
Goal: Investigate animals allegedly left skeletal in filthy cages beside decomposing carcasses, protect survivors, and refer substantiated cruelty for prosecution.
A cage door places an animal’s survival in human hands. A witness account alleges that skeletal cats and dogs were trapped in rusting, feces-coated cages without adequate ventilation, clean drinking water, or food. It also describes decomposing kittens and chickens allegedly left on the property after fatal deprivation.
Published reporting supports a complaint concerning approximately 30 cats allegedly neglected at a house, with two deaths. Welfare advocates have requested a transparent enforcement update. The broader supplied allegations, including extreme heat and starvation as the cause of additional deaths, need confirmation through inspection and postmortem findings.
Surviving animals need prompt care, and the public needs to know whether the complaint has led to meaningful action. Establish the animals’ present condition, preserve evidence, and assess who controlled their care. Demand a clear investigation update, protection for survivors, and referral of supported animal cruelty offenses for prosecution and serious penalties upon conviction.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Director General Mohd Noor Hisham,
Reports of emaciated animals confined amid accumulated feces raise urgent questions about food, water, sanitation, and veterinary access. The supplied account’s description of decomposing young animals left nearby makes reliable documentation of the deaths particularly important.
We ask your department to establish how many animals were present, which species were involved, and what examinations show about injuries, disease, or deprivation. Preserve photographs and witness accounts with their dates and provenance. Determine responsibility for daily care and whether any animal remains at risk. Give complainants a substantive update while protecting confidential evidence and the fairness of any proceedings.
Where the findings support criminal charges, submit a complete investigation file to the prosecuting authority and support proportionate sanctions upon conviction. Use available welfare powers to secure treatment and safe accommodation wherever needed. Please explain what action has been taken and what remains outstanding. Connect verified findings to effective protection and enforceable consequences for proven cruelty.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
