Singapore Jails Man For Smuggling Puppies, Kittens From Malaysia After 19 Die

A Malaysian man has been sentenced to 12 months in prison for smuggling 27 pets, some in laundry bags, from Malaysia to Singapore.

Of the 27 animals, one puppy was found dead and 18 subsequently died from a canine disease.



The 36-year-old Malaysian attempted to transport 26 puppies and a cat in what Singapore’s National Parks Board described as ‘one of the most serious cases of animal smuggling to date’.
