“Who gives the power for this uncle to shoot stray dogs?”.
“The Association of Abandoned Animals Malaysia SAFM received a video in which a man shot a dog with a rifle. It is cruel and inhumane. Location is still under investigation”.
“The dog that was the target of the shooter is believed to have been shot because its shout of pain was clearly heard through the video recording. Whether the dog is suffering in pain or has already died is still a question mark”.
