The Recent Killing Of Cats At The Universiti Malay..

The recent killing of cats at the Universiti Malaya premises is a very disturbing turn of events. This is further aggravated by an allegation that the felines were killed by stray dogs. But one look at the remains of the dead cats suggests that the injuries are not consistent with the wound patterns of a dog attack. When dogs attack a struggling feline, that is probably fighting back, there will be rips and tears, especially in the neck and stomach regions. However, the injuries on these cats appear as if their limbs were amputated or dismembered. Since it is said the conclusion that dogs are the culprits was based on CCTV footage, that footage must be made public. In all fairness, we must also acknowledge the fact that if there was indeed human involvement, the onus is on the institution to protect the perpetrators from the clutches of some animal activists. The recent mayhem and rabble rousing in relation to the shooting of Kopi could have further exacerbated the need for the institution to protect the perpetrators, more so if they were allegedly students. Indeed it is the right and responsibility of the university to protect its students by not wanting them to get into trouble with the law. But it is also important for the said establishment to recognise that a deliberate brutal, evil and cruel act has been committed on its premise. Hence, the right thing to do would be to inform the Department of Veterinary Services (DVS) of what had allegedly really transpired so that the perpetrators, if indeed there are any, could be duly dealt with by the rightful authority. To let people with such evil and obtuse tendencies walk free is both morally and legally wrong. Please do what is right.
