Dog believed to have been bashed to death

By Sia Ling Xin

A DOG found dead in Sengkang on Wednesday evening is believed to have been beaten to death, said the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA).

A preliminary examination of the Pomeranian by a vet showed injuries to its head consistent with trauma, said the SPCA's executive officer, Ms Deidre Moss.


Police said they received a call at about 7.40pm informing them that an animal carcass had been found at Block 267B, Compassvale Link. The SPCA was notified later and its staff collected the carcass.

The dog was found with a leash on.

Ms Moss believes that the incident might have been witnessed by people at a nearby coffeeshop.

A hawker from the coffeeshop told Shin Min Daily News that a man in his 40s had earlier approached him, asking to borrow a knife. The man had been leading the dog.

When the hawker turned him down, the man led the dog to the void deck and bashed it repeatedly against a wall.

SPCA's examination of the dog found that it had been microchipped.

Microchipping - the implanting of a tiny electronic device between the animal's shoulder blades - can help link a dog back to its owner.

The carcass was handed over to the Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority (AVA) for further investigations yesterday.

An AVA spokesman told my paper that the dog's microchip number was not registered with them and a post-mortem is underway.

Ms Moss said: "This is an outrageous, violent act. We hope the person who did it can be apprehended soon, as he or she might be a danger to both people and more animals."

Sengkang resident Sarah Koh, 32, said she was shocked to hear about the act, as it was carried out so close to her home.

She said: "I keep thinking of how helpless the dog must have felt and who could have done such a terrible thing."

The maximum penalty for animal abuse is a $10,000 fine and a one-year jail term.

Dog abuse should be an Olympic sport.

This type of thing will never happen in India. People there will not hesitate to send an injured or sick animal lying on the ground to the nearest animal hospital. When it comes to animal loving, Sinkee rank far far behind a poor and backward country like India.

 

[Teo Kok Eng]

But sad to say this type of thing will happen anytime in China and Korea where dog meat is a delicacy in restaurants :(

the owner has shit for brains. if the dog was micro-chipped, he/she will soon be eating dog poo.

Why do people keep dogs?
Are they anti socials? Do they have problems communicating with fellow humans? Or are they problematic themselves where nobody listen to their problems except their dogs?

Geez

They may need to check with pet shops 'cause microchip most likely done at petshop but buyer of dog did not register with AVA


this fucked bastard, I dare the mother fucker to meet me at the cul-de-sac to learn a lesson he will never forget :oIo:

 

[cooleo]

Must be a YOG volunteer who bashed the dog. Imagine the frustration from working in a shitty event which everybody despises and being fed DOG FOOD.

My Paper should have known the power of the media. Just post the microchip number in the news report.

In order to be microchipped, it has to be done via a vet. It has also been vaccinated. General vets and their staff love dogs. They will definitely help in the tracing.

Of course. In India, they save the cows, dogs and animals. All human homeless beggars lying on the streets half-dead are ignored. It seems somehow they believe that there's more religious merit points to be accumulated by saving animals than by saving humans.

That said, I'm appalled at the gruelsome murder of the dog. No humane humans should do that.

What if I have a pet chicken (the 2 legged one) and I bash it to death? Will I be charged?

No. You will be asked whether you have fried them already ??

 

[Ramseth]

In the olden days, I've watched my grandma carried back chicken home in a brown paper bag. Then let it wander around the kitchen and toilet for a couple of days or so. Sometimes I played with it, quite fun. But when it shitted, I ran out far far outdoors (in case my aunties arrow me to clean it up). Sometimes when I go toilet, had to chase the chicken out first...shoo..shoo!!

Then the day comes, my grandma just grab the chicken by the neck and slit its throat, draining its blood into the sink. Then, pluck feathers and cook.

I asked grandma, why you killed chicky? She replied, don't be silly, its not your pet, its your food.
