Penang DVS says it is investigating the incident in which a dog was allegedly dragged by two men on a motorcycle.
Penang's Department for Veterinary Services (DVS) is examining an alleged incident where two men allegedly dragged a dog using a motorcycle in the Batu Lancang area of the city on Wednesday. Dr Saira Banu Mohamed Rejab, director of the DVS, reported receiving a complaint regarding the incident. Further investigations are underway by the DVS.
Animal rescuer David Yim stated that a woman who witnessed the event confronted the men, but they allegedly persisted in dragging the dog before fleeing the scene.

Yim expressed optimism that the authorities would conduct a comprehensive investigation and enforce penalties if animal cruelty is proven.
