(早报讯)训犬中心被指虐待动物,用铁碗猛砸狗,国家公园局属下的动物与兽医事务组受询时说,涉事训犬师已从训犬师合格名单中暂时剔除,调查正在进行中。
爱狗协会Chained Dog Awareness In Singapore星期三(7月13日)在面簿上载视频,指训犬中心K9 Connection在3月20日发生一起虐狗事件,一只棕色的狗困在狭窄的墙角被人打。
两分多钟的视频中,被虐的狗儿被拴着带到有宠物床垫和饲料碗的墙角。一把男声接着大喊道:“欢迎来到地狱,我的朋友,四个月的地狱”,在一阵污言秽语辱骂后,男子先是踹了一脚,随后竟用铁碗往狗的脸部猛砸三下。
小狗相信为了自我防卫,张口摆出要咬人的样子,试图逼退相信是训犬师的男子,但碍于空间太小,它根本无处躲避,跟着又多次被铁碗猛击。
《联合早报》致电向K9 Connection求证此事,接电话者表示案件正在调查中,因此目前不愿置评。
当局已将涉事训犬师暂从认证名单中剔除
国家公园局属下动物与兽医事务组(Animal & Veterinary Service,简称AVS)高级署长郭瑞菁受询时则说,当局留意到相关虐狗视频,已于3月25日将涉事训犬师暂时从认证名单中剔除,调查正在进行中。
郭瑞菁说,AVS绝不容忍任何虐待动物的行为。“保护动物福利是一项共同的社会责任。”
公众若有发现涉嫌虐待动物的事件,可通过www.avs.gov.sg/feedback,或拨打公园局动物应对中心(Animal Response Centre)热线1800-476-1600联系AVS。公众提供的照片或视频将有助于调查,所有资料将严格保密。
当局也提醒,一旦被发现虐待动物,初犯者可能会在动物和飞禽法令下被控,可面临最长18个月的监禁,罚款最高1万5000元,或两者兼施。
Latest update: Reliable sources have confirmed that the incident happened at the premises of K9 Connection. We hope the owner will put up an official statement to verify this information. ————————————————— Update: Avs is aware of the case and have interviewed all parties concerned. We hope AVS will release the name of this boarding facility at an appropriate time to prevent other pets from falling into the hands of these abusers. NParks —————————————————- If you have ZERO TOLERANCE for animal abuse, help us find the perpetrator. It is obvious the cruelty inflicted on the dog was intentional using objects to bash the frightened pup who was cornered in a tight space with no chance to escape. Share the post so that: 1) the owner is aware that his dog has been abused when it was placed in a boarding facility and mistreated by the staff. 2) if this place looks familiar, please offer the information to NParks.
