NSTnation: “The number of cases is quite worrying, but it is due to public awareness of the need to address animalcruelty in the country.”

There was also an increase of 10 per cent from 463 cases in 2016, compared with the previous year, and more than 90 per cent of these cases involved dogs followed by cats.The department’s director-general, Datuk Dr Quaza Nizamuddin Hassan Nizam, said between January and June this year, at least 190 cases were recorded with fines totalling RM12,500 from five cases brought to court.

“The number of cases is quite worrying, but it is due to public awareness of the need to address animal cruelty in the country,” he told a press conference after officiating at the Module of Early Education on Animal Care and Welfare at the Financial Park Complex, here, today. “Receiving complaints furnished with videotaped evidence help smoothen our investigations and to take action accordingly,” he said.

On animal-borne diseases, he said rabies in Sarawak was still a menace to the public and a big challenge to his department.
