April 1999 - Kuching

Abused cat found at a local hawker centre. The cat was found badly abused and in terrible pain. Very unfortunately, it has to be put to sleep to spare its suffering.

Many cats are left behind to fend for themselves in hawker centres when their owners find it difficult to keep them as they multiply in numbers so quickly. Their owners, thinking that there will be no lack of food at the hawker centres do not realise that these cats will be a nuisance to the public when they get hungry and as a result, expose them to possible abuse by frustrated customers. If you are a responsible owner, neuter your cat as soon as they reach sexual maturity or when you decided that you have enough cats at home.

Abused: Case 2

February 1999 - Miri

Abused dog with her upper lip chopped off deliberately. The mother dog had just given birth to a litter so she had to carry on living bravely for a while in order to feed her litter. In her condition, aside from the pain she endured, the poor dog had difficulty eating and drinking.

Abused: Case 3

The Sarawak Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SSPCA) sadly finds yet another example of the act of neglect and abuse in Kuching when the Padawan Municipal Council (MPP) officers brought this dog to the Shelter last week. The dog, obviously seen here malnourished and ill, was locked up in a cage for a long period of time by the owner, with little water, food and exercise. This is quite a common practice in Kuching. The dog did not survive another day.

Abused: Case 4

The Kuching North City Hall (DBKU) officers retrieved this young dog with its tail chopped off. When the dog was brought in to the Shelter, he was wailing and screaming in pain. He couldn't eat or sleep and wailed in agony every time he tried to sit. He too, did not survive. Did this dog deserve its sad fate? What kind of human being would do such a thing?

Abused: Case 5

This puppy was placed in a box and dumped in front of the Padawan Municipal Council (MPP) Store after being thrown in the tar, possibly near some road works. The MPP officers brought the puppy to the Shelter for help. The Sarawak SPCA suspect someone threw the puppy in the tar for fun. This puppy did not survive.

Abused: Case 6

This young cat was a stray and was brought in to the Shelter by a thoughtful bystander. The Sarawak SPCA was told that the owner of a canteen in one of the primary schools here in Kuching threw hot water on the poor kitten. After that, even while it screamed in agony, primary school students played with the kitten, kicking it in the air like a football until it's tail was broken in three places. The Sarawak SPCA took it to the vet in effort to save it but it was too late for the young cat. Do you think one of your children could have been involved? Are these the sort of children we would like to have as leaders in the future?

Abused: Case 7

A teenager called the Sarawak SPCA Shelter to report a dog lying in the bushes outside her house with one of its front leg chopped off. Some children were also seen throwing stones at the poor dog, as it lay resting. The kind-hearted girl, feeling sorry for the dog, which had maggots all over its body, fed it for 2 days but feared it may be dying. The Sarawak SPCA picked up the mutilated dog and took it to the vet. Unfortunately, the dog had to be put to sleep due to the extensive wounds. Is this the kind of society we want to live in? How can our society achieve true development without humanity?
