Dumping puppies and kittens has become far too normalised โผ๏ธ Markets, roadside stalls, back alleys, even in front of homes and shops ๐ฌ These are the usual drop-off points.
Our shelter too, is not spared. On the night of June 9, twelve puppies were abandoned just outside our gate ๐คฌ Just because itโs common, doesnโt mean itโs not a crime โ ๏ธ
โ๏ธ Under Section 29(1)(p), Part V of the Animal Welfare Act 2015, animal abandonment is a criminal offence, punishable by:
๐ต A fine of up to RM100,000
๐จ Imprisonment of up to 3 years, or both.
This is why pet owners must be accountable by spaying and neutering. Some claim โitโs just nature,โ but when the litter comes, they dump them and walk away. Without a motherโs milk, many donโt survive. Some die slowly. Others develop painful skin diseases and infections.
Movements like #ExecuteAWA remind us that public pressure can push for actual enforcement and accountability under the law ๐ฃ Join the call for justice. Visit executeawa.com to add your name and demand real enforcement of Malaysiaโs animal welfare laws โ๏ธ
These 12 puppies are part of the growing burden many shelters like ours are forced to bear due to repeated abandonment and public irresponsibility.
