An appalling video that was posted on Facebook and YouTube shows a man—who is believed to be from Malaysia—repeatedly striking a dog, shaking him, and then throwing him across the room in an apparent attempt to teach the dog to stand on his hind legs.
PETA Asia has collected information on the case and submitted it to authorities, including the government's Veterinary Services Department as well as the police. But despite leads in the case, no action has been taken by authorities. Under Part IV of Malaysia's animal welfare act, the Animals Act 2006, the man seen in the video could be convicted and fined RM50,000 or sentenced to six months in prison.
Please use the form below to urge Malaysian authorities to take immediate action to find the abuser, remove the animals currently in his care, and prosecute him to the fullest extent.
