The Penang Department of Veterinary Services (DVS) is investigating an incident that allegedly involved two men dragging a dog with a motorcycle in Batu Lancang, George Town, on September 23, according to Dr Saira Banu Mohamed Rejab, the Penang DVS director. The DVS has received a report regarding the incident and is conducting further investigations.
Animal rescuer David Yim reported that a woman witnessed the incident and confronted the men, asking them to stop. However, the men allegedly continued dragging the dog before leaving the scene. The woman later lodged a report with the DVS, providing photographs and videos believed to capture the incident. Yim expressed concern over the serious injuries the black dog suffered and hoped for a thorough investigation by the authorities, taking appropriate action if animal cruelty was involved.
