SINGAPORE: A video of a woman beating her dog with a broom, for chewing on cushions, has made animal-lovers see red.

They have rallied on online forums, YouTube and Facebook to demand punishment for its owner.

A male voice is heard telling the woman to stop but she goes ahead with the beating.

An appeal for information from Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, SPCA, on Facebook drew more than 500 comments in just one day.

Meantime, the Agri-food and Veterinary Authority, AVA, says it will launch an investigation and will take action against the owners if there is sufficient evidence of cruelty.

If convicted, the offender can be fined $10,000, imprisoned for 12 months, or both. - CNA/jm

Three offers to adopt dog beaten by owner

<script type="text/javascript"> var fontIndex = 2; var fontSize = new Array('0.63em', '0.69em', '0.75em', '0.88em', '1em', '1.13em'); </script> SINGAPORE - Three animal lovers have offered to adopt Butters, the six-month-old pup seen, in a widely-circulated video, receiving a thrashing from its owner for chewing on a couple of cushions.

Ms Sandy Lim, founder of the animal welfare group, SOS Animals, has volunteered to adopt Butters and also pay its owner for the crossbreed and buy her a new set of cushions.

Mr Jerry Toh, an assistant outlet manager, and his girlfriend have promised to shower Butters with love just as they do their two-year-old Maltese.

"My concern is the well-being of the dog ... the authorities and the SPCA can do a spot check on us," he said.

Another concerned animal lover, Ms Fiona Foo, has been informed by the Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority (AVA) that Butters was not "in any danger".

"We have checked on the dog," AVA principal animal welfare inspector Soh Seng Beng told her in an email, adding that investigations were ongoing.

Earlier, Rachel Goh and Clara Fu on Facebook called on the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) to rescue the dog.

The pup could develop a "nervous aggression" if beaten repeatedly, said dog trainer, and president of welfare group, Action for Singapore Dogs, Mr Ricky Yeo.

The SPCA said it was grateful and encouraged by the public's concern for the welfare of the animal. ESTHER NG

The most effective way of teaching such culprits a lesson that they would NEVER, EVER forget is to inflict the same punishment that the perpetrators have inflicted on their victims.

Animal abusers who whacked their pets should likewise be whacked the same way so that they will know what it feels like to be whacked. The police, or sadistic volunteers from the public can surely be found to mete out the whacking punishment on such criminals.

Fines do not work on those who are very rich and imprisonment costs the taxpayers money that could have been channelled to education/healthcare etc. Why should taxpayers be made to pay the burden of jailing these violent people?

AVA warns 'dog-abusers'

AVA warns 'dog-abusers'

<!-- by line --> By Jalelah Abu Baker

TWO dog owners have been let off with a stern warning by the Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority (AVA), following allegations that they abused their dog. After a nine-day investigation, AVA found the dog to be 'healthy and in good condition', and that the owners had 'no ill-intention to hurt their pet dog whilst attempting to discipline it'.

The AVA differentiated this case from one of animal cruelty because it there was no deliberate intent to inflict harm and severe pain on an animal and also because the owners voluntarily submitted themselves to investigations. Furthermore, the dog was seen 'relating positively' to its owners. A man, who is believed to have filmed and uploaded the video, called the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animal (SPCA) to admit his involvement in the video on July 14.

Alerted by enraged Netizens, the society had put up an appeal for information three days before. The plight of the dog 'Butters' had come to light earlier this month when a video of Ms Kanchan Devi beating a small brown dog was uploaded on video-sharing website YouTube. The dog, believed to be a poodle-terrier, was beaten repeatedly with what looked like a broom. If convicted of animal cruelty, an offender can be fined up to $10,000 and/or be imprisoned for up to 12 months.
