Six-year-old Muhamad Firdaus, fondly known as Bambam, was attacked by a dog while cycling near his home, a tragedy that shook the nation. Soon after, strays and animal activists were blamed, with some saying, โThis is what happens when you love dogs too much!โ ๐ค
But compassion was never the problem. Negligence was! ๐ข
Many strays are victims themselves, abandoned, unchipped, and left to survive in fear. When a dog feels threatened, it reacts out of instinct, not cruelty ๐
To extend support to the family, Execute AWA led a visit to Adik Bambamโs home, joined by New Life Animal Shelter and other dedicated representatives ๐ช๐ป
During the visit, we highlighted the importance of microchipping, a crucial step in responsible pet ownership ๐ฒ The dog involved was found with a collar but no identifiable owner, and some witnesses claimed to have seen the owner before the incident ๐ If microchipping had been compulsory, the rightful owner couldโve been traced and accountability ensured ๐จ
#ExecuteAWA is also pushing for tougher laws on pet abandonment and stricter enforcement of the Animal Welfare Act 2015 to punish offenders of animal neglect and cruelty, along with reforms that prioritise justice, humanity, and integrity to strengthen animal welfare across Malaysia ๐๐ป
