Penang DVS probing alleged dog-dragging incident

The veterinary services department (DVS) in Penang is currently investigating an incident in which two men allegedly dragged a dog using a motorcycle in the Batu Lancang area of the city. Dr Saira Banu Mohamed Rejab, the DVS director, confirmed receiving a report about the event.

A witness, a woman, confronted the men and asked them to stop the dog-dragging but allegedly continued the act before leaving. She reported the incident to the DVS and provided photographs and videos that appear to document the event. The black dog reportedly suffered serious injuries and was left at the scene.

Animal rescuer David Yim stated that he hopes the authorities will conduct a thorough investigation and take appropriate action should there be any evidence of animal cruelty involved.
