Killing or treating animals in a cruel manner even if they come into conflict with humans is an offence under the law, says Peninsular Malaysia Wildlife and National Parks Department director-general Abdul Kadir Abu Hashim.
Abdul Kadir was asked to comment on recent postings on social media showing the fate of animals that have come into conflict with humans, angering Malaysians. “Do not take action on your own when dealing with wild animals. Contact our department and we will take action accordingly,” he told Bernama today.
He said from 2011-2018, the department dealt with 27 animal cruelty cases in Peninsular Malaysia, and all perpetrators have been charged in court.
Wildlife? Even own citizens are hounded 👿
Those incidents are extensions to incidents involving domesticated animals like the one involving a vigilante group that killed 5 dogs in Seremban. What has PDRM done to the Seremban dog-killers?
