For many people, dogs barking at them as they go past a house in a neighborhood by walking or even using a certain vehicle has been a very common and usual thing that happens in Malaysia. Nobody would get mad by that action and nobody would definitely take it personally. This is because the dogs are only barking at them as a sign that they are really protecting their owner’s house from any intruders. Shockingly, there are some people that do get mad when they come across barking dogs as they pass by houses in a neighborhood.
That is what happened in Melaka when there is this particular man that stabbed his neighbor’s dog to death after the dog had barked directly at him as he passed by on his own motorcycle.
The particular poor dog was immediately brought to the vet but ultimately died due to its injuries upon arrival.
According to the post,
“The perpetrator who is responsible to attack and stab this owned dog to death in Taman Maju, Jasin Melaka is now hunted and will be taken action by the Department of Veterinary Services (DVS) right after they received the report from Animal Malaysia”.
“During the incident at 1 am on 5 November 2020, a dog was attacked and stabbed with a machete by a man who was angry at the dog for barking at him when he passed by in front of the gated house of the poor dog”.
“The man allegedly broke into the dog owner’s house and also threatened them”.
“The Malaysia Animal Association hopes that the man will be brought to justice immediately by applying the Animal Welfare Act 2015, which provides a maximum fine of RM100,000.000 and a maximum jail term of three years if convicted”.
